CVE-2020-24316
This results in a reflected XSS vulnerability that attackers can exploit with a specially crafted URL.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.87%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
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. This results in a reflected XSS vulnerability that attackers can exploit with a specially crafted URL.
