"evaluatorSolution": "POP3 is an unsecured protocol for Internet facing systems that does not encrypt its transmissions. POP3 should be tunneled over SSL/TLS or another encrypted tunnel. The software should be patched and configured properly. Earlier versions of POP, such as POP2, are unsecured and obsolete, and should be disabled.",
"evaluatorImpact": "This Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) entry is a configuration issue and not a software flaw. 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.",

"value": "Rejected reason: DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: None. Reason: this candidate is solely about a configuration that does not directly introduce security vulnerabilities, so it is more appropriate to cover under the Common Configuration Enumeration (CCE). Notes: the former description is: \"A POP service is running."
