CRITICAL Your site is vulnerable to active exploitation

Automated scanning detected an unauthenticated remote code execution flaw affecting this installation. One or more exploit attempts have already been observed against your site from external addresses. A security patch must be applied now to close the hole.

Until the patch is applied, attackers can create admin accounts, inject malware into your pages, and read your database. Automatic background updates cannot deliver this fix because it operates below the plugin layer, so it has to be applied from your server's command line.
