AI Analysis

Impact

A SQL injection flaw has been identified in the Quiz And Survey Master WordPress plugin for versions up to 11.2.0; the vulnerability allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL via the plugin’s input fields, potentially enabling unauthorized database reads, updates, or deletions, which could expose or tamper with survey data, user credentials, or even compromise the hosting environment if the database account has elevated privileges. The weakness is classified as CWE‑89.

Affected Systems

The plugin is developed by ExpressTech Systems. Any installation of the Quiz And Survey Master WordPress plugin 11.2.0 or earlier is susceptible, all WordPress sites that have the vulnerable plugin enabled regardless of their WordPress version; the issue is remedied in version 11.2.1 and later.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.5 denotes a high severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low probability of exploitation in the near term, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Based on the description, it is inferred that the likely attack vector is through any field offered by the plugin’s quiz or survey interfaces, which are accessible to site visitors, whether authenticated or not; an attacker who can successfully inject SQL may read, modify, or delete arbitrary data stored in the site’s database, and if the database user has broad permissions this might extend to the application layer.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Restrict access to the plugin’s form submission endpoints to authenticated users only, if the site’s configuration allows
  • Configure WordPress and the underlying database to run with the least privilege principle, ensuring the database account used by WordPress has only the permissions required for normal operation
  • Deploy a web application firewall or input‑validation rules to block unexpected SQL patterns at the application perimeter
