"According to its version number, the WordPress install hosted on the
remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Unsafe PHP de-serialization could occur in limited
    situations and setups, which could lead to remote code
    execution. (CVE-2013-4338)

  - Open redirect/insufficient input validation could allow
    attackers to redirect users to a malicious website.
    (CVE-2013-4339)

  - A user with an Author role, using a specially crafted
    request, can forge a post that appears to be posted by
    another user. (CVE-2013-4340)

  - As a proactive measure to prevent cross-site scripting
    attacks, extensions .swf, .exe, .htm, and .html are
    filtered from file uploading. (CVE-2013-5738,
    CVE-2013-5739)

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