CVE-2020-36699 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.3/10 on the CVSS scale. The Quick Page/Post Redirect Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to missing capability checks on the qppr_save_quick_redirect_ajax and qppr_delete_quick_redirect functions in versions up to, and including, 5.1.9.
