According to its version number, the WordPress install hosted on the remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
The application is affected by an unspecified bug that affects multisite installs with untrusted users.
The application is affected by an unspecified vulnerability that may allow for privilege escalation in the Atom Publishing Protocol endpoint.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
