The problem is that the network connections between the Ghost Console and the Ghost Management Agent are not authenticated.

The vulnerability is reported in versions 1.1, 2.0.0, and 2.0.1. Users that do not use Ghost Console or the Ghost Management Agent are reportedly not affected. SOLUTION: Apply updates (1.1 patch 2 or 2.0.2).
