Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Poll Maker – Versus Polls, Anonymous Polls, Image Polls plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.5.4

Description The issue is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the duplicate poll() function, making it possible for unauthenticated attackers to duplicate polls via a forged request if they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 5.5.4, consider disabling the duplicate poll() function until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to the plugin's functionality to minimize the risk of unauthorized poll duplication. Avoid using the plugin until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
