Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- Unknown LiteSpeed Cache: fixed in 7.9.2

## Description

The LiteSpeed Cache WordPress plugin before 7.9.2 does not perform a capability check on its admin-notice dismissal handler, and the nonce it relies on is not bound to the specific notice being dismissed, so on sites in certain configurations a low-privileged authenticated user (Subscriber) can dismiss administrative notices the LiteSpeed Cache WordPress plugin before 7.9.2 marks as non-dismissible, including a warning that sensitive files may be publicly accessible.
