 Hi everyone,
 After couple of days of debugging, I've just installed WordPress 5.2.1 and
 found that Contributors can edit their own posts after publishing by
 Editor.
 Moreover, I've tried to turn off the capability manually by using the
 'remove_cap' method, but there's no change.

 This capability's default should be off as you can see here:

 capabilities/#edit_published_posts
