CVE-2020-24316unauthenticated · needs a click
WP Plugin Rednumber Admin Menu v1.1 and lower does not sanitize the value of the "role" GET parameter before echoing it back out to the user
The access label is read from the record's own text (e.g. “subscriber+”: subscriber and above). When the text names no role, CVSS decides between “login required” and “high privilege”; no role name is invented. “Needs a click”: the attack depends on a logged-in user following a link (CSRF, reflected XSS).
