Setting up auto-replies in M365 sounds easy—until you're on a limited plan like Outlook Online Plan 1.

If you're using the Post SMTP plugin, you need to update to version 3.6.1 today.
Here's the issue: attackers can access your email logs without any authentication. Those logs contain password reset links. That means they can reset your admin password and take over your site.
Over 400,000 sites use this plugin. The vulnerability existed for 19 days before the patch was released. During that window, sites were exposed.
This is why weekly WordPress maintenance matters. Security patches don't come out on your schedule - they come out when developers discover vulnerabilities. If you're only checking monthly or when you remember, you're leaving gaps where your site is vulnerable.
If you manage your own site, log in today and check your plugins. If you use Post SMTP, update it now. If you're tired of having to track every security bulletin, that's what I'm here for.
