As such, it doesn\u2019t fit in the CVE software flaw list. The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score for this CVE entry has been set to 0 because this CVE entry has no impact as a software flaw according to CVSS. This does not mean that the configuration issue is not important and there may be security implications relative to computers having this configuration.", "sourceIdentifier": "cve@mitre.org", "evaluatorSolution": "The SMTP Service is an unsecured protocol for Internet facing systems (e.g., user authentication not required, communications not encrypted) and should only be used on a limited basis to provide a specific functional requirement, otherwise disabled.
