The host is running BlogEngine.NET and is prone to information disclosure vulnerability.

Successful exploitation will allow attackers to read arbitrary files on the target system and obtain valuable information such as access credentials. Impact Level: Application

No solution or patch was made available for at least one year since disclosure of this vulnerability. Likely none will be provided anymore. General solution options are to upgrade to a newer release, disable respective features, remove the product or replace the product by another one.

The flaw is due to an improper access restriction to 'sioc.axd', which contains system configuration files.

BlogEngine.net version 2.8.0.0 and earlier

Send the crafted HTTP GET request and check is it possible to read the configuration file.
