The remote Debian 10 / 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5039 advisory.

    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Wordpress, a web blogging tool. They allowed remote attackers     to perform SQL injection, run unchecked SQL queries, bypass hardening, or perform Cross-Site Scripting     (XSS) attacks. For the oldstable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in version     5.0.15+dfsg1-0+deb10u1. For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version     5.7.5+dfsg1-0+deb11u1. We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress packages.
