The vulnerability was identified and assigned CVE-2020-22403. The issue allows attackers to perform unauthorized administrative actions including adding administrator accounts and discount codes (MITRE CVE).

The severity is rated as HIGH with a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 8.8 (Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) (NVD).
