  Unless you are on at least the most recent security release then your site contains known security vulnerabilities (currently 5.35.2 / 5.36.1 - see [release notes](https://civicrm.org/blog/tags/release)). However, whether those vulnerabilities are actually exploitable on your system depends on many factors, but it's a bad place to be.
  
  You may also encounter other problems - for example if your hosting upgrades the version of php to something more recent than your version of CiviCRM can cope with.
