As of March 19, 2026, WordPress 7.0 is scheduled for release on April 9, 2026. The Connectors work looks small on the surface, but it is one of the most important platform shifts in this cycle because it moves provider setup and credentials handling out of one-off plugin settings pages and into a shared WordPress layer.

For plugin teams, that means less duplicated plumbing. For agencies running headless WordPress or mixed Drupal/WordPress estates, it means external-service integrations may finally get a standard control plane instead of per-plugin fragmentation.

WowRevenue versions up to 2.1.3 can expose a high-risk path when authenticated low-privilege users can reach plugin installation or activation logic through AJAX handlers without strict capability checks. The practical fix is to enforce current_user_can('install_plugins') or current_user_can('activate_plugins') at handler entry and keep nonce checks as anti-CSRF only.
