Impact
An unauthenticated Cross‑Site Scripting flaw exists in versions of the WordPress Quiz And Survey Master plugin up to 11.0.0.

The weakness is classified as CWE‑79, a classic injection problem that bypasses normal input validation. Because the attack is client‑side, the impact is limited to the victim’s browser but can be leveraged to compromise any authenticated user who subsequently visits the vulnerable content.
