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 arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages via the date parameter on the "chainedquiz list" page. This enables attackers to execute scripts if they can trick a user into performing an action like clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.3.2.3, consider disabling the "chainedquiz list" page or restricting access to it until a patch is available. Avoid using the date parameter in the affected page until the issue is resolved.
