CVE-2023-38498
Prior to version 3.0.6 of the `stable` branch and version 3.1.0.beta7 of the `beta` and `tests-passed` branches, a malicious user can prevent the defer queue from proceeding promptly on sites hosted in the same multisite installation.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.70%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
