* **_CiviContribute_: PayPal status updates are mishandled in certain configurations ([dev/core#1931](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1931): [#18996](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18996))**
This primarily impacts deployments which use WordPress short-codes or which do *not* use "Clean URLs".
