+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by setting up a
+    malicious site and enticing a user to connect to it. This could
+    possibly lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions
+    of the user running Axel.

+    There is no known workaround at this time.
