Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Chained Quiz plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.3.2.3

Description The issue is related to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

Recommendations For Chained Quiz plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.3.2.3, update to a version later than 1.3.2.3 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "chainedquiz list" page to minimize the risk of exploitation.
