According to its version number, the WordPress application installed on the remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
Multiple unspecified errors exist that could allow cross-site scripting attacks.
An unspecified error exists that could allow cross-site request forgery attacks.
An error exists related to password handling that could allow denial of service attacks.
An unspecified error exists that could allow server-side request forgery attacks.
A hash collision error exists that could allow a user account to be compromised.
An error exists related to password reset processing that could allow a user account to be compromised.
An error exists related to the post or page comment field that could allow persistent cross-site scripting attacks.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
