Synopsis
The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.Description

- The user interface for assigning taxonomy terms in Press This is shown to users who do not have permissions to use it.
- WP_Query is vulnerable to a SQL injection (SQLi) when passing unsafe data. WordPress core is not directly vulnerable to this issue, but we've added hardening to prevent plugins and themes from accidentally causing a vulnerability.
- A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in the posts list table.
- An unauthenticated privilege escalation vulnerability was discovered in a REST API endpoint.
