Open Web Proxy Server

Vulnerability Assessment Summary Acertains if we can use the remote web proxy Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web proxy server accepts requests. Description : The remote web proxy accepts unauthenticated HTTP requests from the Nessus scanner. By routing requests through the affected proxy, a user may be able to gain some degree of anonymity while browsing web sites, which will see requests as originating from the remote host itself rather than the user's host. Solution: Reconfigure the remote proxy so that it only accepts requests coming from inside your network.
