QID 520004: EOL/Obsolete Software: Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 3.0 Detected

Internet Information Services (IIS) is an extensible web server software created by Microsoft which is flexible, secure and manageable for hosting anything on the Web.

QID Detection Logic:(Unauthenticated)
This QID sends an HTTP GET request to the target application and checks the HTTP response header for the presence of Microsoft IIS 3.0 on the host.

The system is at high risk of being exposed to security vulnerabilities because the vendor no longer provides updates. Obsolete software is more vulnerable to viruses and other attacks.

  • CVSS V3 rated as Critical - 9.8 severity.
  • CVSS V2 rated as Critical - 10 severity.
  • Solution

    It is strongly recommended to upgrade to the latest version of Microsoft IIS.
