CVE-2020-11548unauthenticated
The Search Meter plugin through 2.13.2 for WordPress allows user input introduced in the search bar to be any formula.
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).
