#47024: (Comments REST API) Contributor can't update/delete own comment

 Reporter:  meloniq       |      Owner:  (none)
     Type:  defect (bug)  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  REST API      |    Version:  5.1.1
 Severity:  normal        |   Keywords:  has-patch
  Focuses:  rest-api      |
--------------------------+-----------------------------
 Affected API: https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-
 api/reference/comments/#update-a-comment

 Endpoints: `POST /wp/v2/comments/<id>` and `DELETE /wp/v2/comments/<id>`

 Case: As a user with Contributor or Author role I'm not able to
 update/delete a comment that I previously added.

 Due to a logical bug in the method `check_edit_permission()`, a users
 without the `moderate_comments` capability aren't able to update or delete
 own comments as the part of code which checks permission on individual
 comment is never reached.

 Patch correcting mentioned above part has been attached to the ticket.
