CVE-2024-13639
The Read More & Accordion plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification and loss of data due to a missing capability check on the expmDeleteData() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.2.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.34%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
