CVE-2017-20008
The myCred WordPress plugin before 1.7.8 does not sanitise and escape the user parameter before outputting it back in the Points Log admin dashboard, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.91%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
