The WordPress application running on the remote host has a version of the ‘Social Warfare’ plugin that is prior to 3.5.3 and, thus, is affected by a stored cross site scripting vulnerability in the wp-admin/admin-post.php?swp_debug=load_options swp_url parameter.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
