CVE-2008-0664
The XML-RPC implementation (xmlrpc.php) in WordPress before 2.3.3, when registration is enabled, allows remote attackers to edit posts of other blog users via unknown vectors.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.55%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
