CVE-2024-1771
The Total theme for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the total_order_sections() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.59.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.41%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
