 * Hello,
 * The Hide WP Toolbar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access
   due to a missing capability check on a function in versions up to, and including,
   2.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level
   access and above, to perform an unauthorized action.
 * More here: [https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/wordpress-plugins/hide-wp-toolbar/hide-wp-toolbar-27-missing-authorization](https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/wordpress-plugins/hide-wp-toolbar/hide-wp-toolbar-27-missing-authorization)
 * Will you release an update to fix this?
