I am running the HackerGuardian PCI Compliance test and I am getting the following security warning:
However I cannot locate that file or find any information about how I could solve this issue. As a matter of fact I cannot find instructions for removing Ruby from cPanel all together.Code:Security warning found on port/service "nbx-ser (2095/tcp)" Plugin "Ruby on Rails Session Fixation Vulnerability" Category "Web Servers " Priority "Medium Priority "Synopsis : The remote web server is affected by a session fixation vulnerability. Description : The web server on the remote host appears to be a version of Ruby on Rails that supports URL-based sessions. An unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to leverage this issue to obtain an authenticated session. Note that Ruby on Rails version 1.2.4 was initially supposed to address this issue, but its session fixation logic only works for the first request, when CgiRequest is first instantiated.
