"According to its self-reported version number, the WordPress
application running on the remote web server is prior to 4.8.2.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw in $wpdb->prepare() can create unsafe queries
    leading to potential SQL injection flaws with plugins
    and themes.

  - Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities
    exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied
    input.  An unauthenticated, remote attacker can
    exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to
    execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser
    session. 

  - Multiple path traversal vulnerabilities exist in the
    file unzipping code and customizer. A remote attacker
    may be able to read arbitrary files subject to the
    privileges under which the web server runs.

  - An open redirect flaw exists on the user and term edit
    screens. A remote attacker can exploit this, by
    tricking a user into following a specially crafted link,
    to redirect a user to an arbitrary website.

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