Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test

Synopsis :

The remote web server contains an application that allows execution of
arbitrary code.

Description :

The remote host is running HAMweather, a weather-forecasting software
application.

to the 'daysonly' parameter before using it to evaluate PHP or Perl
code. An unauthenticated attacker can leverage this issue to execute
arbitrary code on the remote host subject to the rights of the web
server user id.
