Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Quiz And Survey Master – Best Quiz, Exam and Survey Plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 9.0.1

Description The issue is related to SQL Injection via the question id parameter due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This allows authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries, which can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 9.0.1, update to a version that addresses the SQL Injection issue via the question id parameter to prevent authenticated attackers from extracting sensitive information from the database. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the question id parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
