Seems like I fixed the issue. When calling get_desc() in Info.from_info()
it is necessary to call it using the with_id=False parameter. Otherwise,
information about where the vulnerability was identified gets concatenated
to the end of the description.
I made the changes in w3af/core/data/kb/info.py and am pushing them to my
repo.
