Considered to be in moderate danger (5)
I believe the answer is:
rated
'considered' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in moderate danger' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'RATED' can be found hidden inside 'moderate danger'.
'to be' is the link.
(Other definitions for rated that I've seen before include "given a dressing-down" , "Assessed in trade" , "Graded by trade" , "Graded, ranked" , "Considered" .)
