Description

The current dashboard and widget privileges specify a leading wildcard, for example:

$priv_list['page-dashboard-all']['match'][] = "*.widget.php*";

$priv_list['page-dashboard-widgets']['match'][] = "*.widget.php*";

Due to this loose matching, adding ?&.widget.php" to any URL will allow the user to bypass privileges set on the page when making a GET or POST request.
