SOCKS Scan
The SOCKS library of proxy rules can allow packets through (checked or
unchecked) that should not be allowed through. This is not necessarily a vulnerability
with the SOCKS program itself, but the vulnerability check can take advantage
of a configuration error in the SOCKS proxy. This can also bypass the logging
that a proxy server can do, and bypass any services that should normally be
relayed instead of just passed through. The scanner attempts to connect to the
following services through the SOCKS proxy.
Fix: Verify and/or reconfigure the proxy rules.
