Impact
The Poll, Survey & Quiz Maker Plugin contains a misconfigured capability check that allows any authenticated user with Contributor or higher privileges to alter plugin settings. Such users can change the e‑mail address used for the account connection or disconnect the plugin entirely, causing previously created content to remain visible but potentially breaking the plugin’s integration with external services. This represents an unauthorized modification of data, compromising the integrity of the plugin configuration and disrupting its intended functionality, and is classified as a CWE-863 vulnerability.
Affected Systems
The vulnerability affects the WordPress plugin Poll, Survey & Quiz Maker by Opinion Stage (also sold as Quiz, Poll & Survey Maker by Opinion Stage). All releases up through version 19.9.0 are affected. Any WordPress site running this plugin within the specified version range is vulnerable.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates a moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% shows that exploitation is unlikely but not impossible. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no large‑scale exploits have been observed. Attackers must first authenticate with Contributor-level or higher privileges, making this a local, authenticated threat rather than a remote exploitation vector.
