Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WordPress Survey & Poll – Quiz, Survey and Poll Plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 1.7.5

Description The issue allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to inject SQL queries via the id attribute of the "survey" shortcode. This is due to insufficient escaping of user-supplied parameters and lack of sufficient preparation in the existing SQL query, enabling the extraction of sensitive information from the database.

Recommendations For versions up to and including 1.7.5, update to a version higher than 1.7.5 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the survey shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation.
