CVE-2020-12614
If an Add Admin token is protected by this criteria, it can be leveraged by a malicious actor to achieve Elevation of Privileges from standard user to administrator.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.14%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
