SQL injection vulnerability because the bundled XML-RPC library fails
to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'xmlrpc.php' script.
An attacker can exploit this flaw to launch SQL injection attacks that
could lead to disclosure of the administrator's password hash or
attacks against the underlying database.

Note that the application is reportedly also affected by multiple
cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, multiple path disclosure
vulnerabilities, and a flaw in which a remote attacker can modify the
content of the 'forgotten password' message; however, Nessus has not
tested for these issues.");
