Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

The plugin fails to properly validate user permissions before allowing access to certain administrative functions or data, enabling unauthenticated or under-privileged users to potentially perform actions that should require higher privileges.
