Hi,

........
Synopsis : It is possible to log into the remote host. Description : The remote 
host is running one of the Microsoft Windows operating systems. It was possible 
to log into it as a guest user using a random account.

In the group policy change the setting for 'Network access: Sharing and 
security model for local accounts' from 'Guest only - local users authenticate 
as Guest' to 'Classic - local users authenticate as themselves'. / CVSS Base 
Score : 5.0 (CVSS2#AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)
........


Could someone explain what the significance or seriousness of this is? Does it 
suggest a remote or local exploit is possible? If so what can be achieved and 
how can I confirm that the report is correct?
