    Package        : wordpress
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-64638
    Debian Bug     : 1143843

    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in wordpress, a web blogging
    tool, which could result in cross-site scripting, server-side request
    forgery, privilege escalation or remote code execution.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 6.8.7+dfsg1-0+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress packages.

    For the detailed security status of wordpress please refer to its
    security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/wordpress

    Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
    found at: https://www.debian.org/security/

    Mailing list: [email protected]

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
