CVE-2020-7222
An attacker who changes the result parameter (to true) in this JavaScript code can bypass authentication and achieve limited privileges (ability to see every option but not modify them).
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.29%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
