Cross Site Scripting
The remote host is running the PHP Code Snipplet Library (PHP-CSL). There is a bug in cat_select which makes it vulnerable to cross site scripting attacks. An attacker may use this bug to run arbitrary web code in the context of the web site.
You should upgrade to version 0.9 or higher (http://www.php-csl.com). Change the default directory of the affected suite to make it harder to run pre-defined and automated attacks against the vulnerability. Also limit unwanted connections and communications with firewalling if possible.
