Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions mTouch Quiz versions prior to 3.0.7

Description The issue allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the quiz parameter to the "wp-admin/edit.php" endpoint. This can be exploited by sending malicious input to the vulnerable endpoint, potentially leading to the execution of attacker-controlled code.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.0.7, update to version 3.0.7 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "wp-admin/edit.php" endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the quiz parameter in the affected endpoint until the issue is resolved.
