CVE-2025-12527
The Page & Post Notes plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of notes due to a missing capability check on the 'yydev_notes_save_dashboard_data' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.4.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.23%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
