this plugin refers to  CVE-2009-4612,
a XSS vulnerability  for Jetty version 6.0.x to 6.1.21.

The plugin first,  

(1)
- try the XSS and check the return
        if it match it  'warning_exit'

(2)
-  it check the version for Jetty
       if it match 6.0.x to 6.1.21,  it  'warning_exit'
   

why the plugin do not test first (2) , exit if it does not match
and then do (1)

because (1) can easily be a false positive as example my server return : 

No topic found for "jspsnoop<script>alert(123)<script>"

that of couse match .... and my server is jetty 7.5.4  so not vulnerable
to this CVE.
