"The WordPress application running on the remote host has a version of the 'LiteSpeed Cache' plugin that is prior to 
6.5.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by an unauthenticated account takeover vulnerability. The plugin suffers from an 
unauthenticated account takeover vulnerability which allows any unauthenticated visitor to gain authentication access 
to any logged-in users and at worst can gain access to an Administrator level role after which malicious plugins could 
be uploaded and installed.  

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