Vulnerability Scan Summary Tries to send arbitrary email with e107
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
Synopsis :
The remote web server contains a PHP script that can be used to send
arbitrary e-mail messages.
Description :
The version of e107 installed on the remote host contains a script,

content of those messages. This issue can be exploited to send spam
or other types of abuse through the affected system.
