CVE-2012-2402
wp-admin/plugins.php in WordPress before 3.3.2 allows remote authenticated site administrators to bypass intended access restrictions and deactivate network-wide plugins via unspecified vectors.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.58%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
