Description
The Project Manager plugin for WordPress (versions up to 4.1.1) contains a critical vulnerability allowing unauthenticated remote code execution via the 'id' parameter. This occurs because the 'id' parameter is unsanitized and used directly in a dynamic PHP function call without allowlist validation. The vulnerability bypasses authorization checks due to WordPress core executing the validation callback before permission checks. This flaw has a CVSS score of 9.8, indicating a critical severity level.
