+      OpenNMS is vulnerable to XML External Entity Injection in the Real-Time Console interface.
+      Although this attack requires authentication, there are several factors that increase the
+      severity of this vulnerability.
+
+      1. OpenNMS runs with root privileges, taken from the OpenNMS FAQ: "The difficulty with the
+      core of OpenNMS is that these components need to run as root to be able to bind to low-numbered
+      ports or generate network traffic that requires root"
+
+      2. The user that you must authenticate as is the "rtc" user which has the default password of
+      "rtc". There is no mention of this user in the installation guides found here:
+      http://www.opennms.org/wiki/Tutorial_Installation, only mention that you should change the default
+      admin password of "admin" for security purposes.
