⚠️ Whoops! The Invite-Anyone plugin before version 1.3.16 for WordPress is letting people send invites like a party host who forgot to check the guest list! 🎉 Think of it as a restaurant where anyone can walk in and claim a reservation without being checked against the list — not exactly secure! This means unauthorized users could invite themselves to join your site, potentially gaining access to information or features they shouldn't have. With the wrong person at the table, things could get uncomfortable — or worse!
