CVE-2020-35589 describes a reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the limit-login-attempts-reloaded WordPress plugin prior to version 2.17.4. An authenticated attacker with low privileges can inject malicious scripts into the wp-admin/options-general.php?page=limit-login-attempts&tab= page, which are then executed in an administrator's browser. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 5.4) has a low attack complexity and requires user interaction, potentially leading to limited impact on confidentiality and integrity. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, and it is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog.
