CuteNews is installed on this remote host.

According to it's version number, this host is vulnerable to a 
cross-site-scripting (XSS) attack.  An attacker, exploiting this
flaw, would need to be able to coerce a user to browse to a purposefully
malicious URI.  Upon successful exploitation, the attacker would be able
to run code within the web-browser in the security context of the
CuteNews server.

Solution : Upgrade to CuteNews v1.3.2 or newer

Risk factor : Medium";
