CVE-2021-24783
The Post Expirator WordPress plugin before 2.6.0 does not have proper capability checks in place, which could allow users with a role as low as Contributor to schedule deletion of arbitrary posts.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.82%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
