"The WordPress application running on the remote host has a version of the 'LiteSpeed Cache' plugin that is prior to 
6.4. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability. An unauthenticated remote attacker could 
elevate their privileges to that of an account with the administrator role.

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