The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200507-02 (WordPress: Multiple vulnerabilities)

James Bercegay of the GulfTech Security Research Team discovered     that WordPress insufficiently checks data passed to the XML-RPC server.
He also discovered that WordPress has several cross-site scripting and     full path disclosure vulnerabilities.

Impact :

An attacker could use the PHP script injection vulnerabilities to     execute arbitrary PHP script commands. Furthermore the cross-site     scripting vulnerabilities could be exploited to execute arbitrary     script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable     site.

Workaround :

There are no known workarounds at this time.
