Descriptions

php/qmn_options_questions_tab.php in the quiz-master-next plugin before 4.7.9 for WordPress allows CSRF, with resultant stored XSS, via the question_name parameter because js/admin_question.js mishandles parsing inside of a SCRIPT element.

El archivo php/qmn_options_questions_tab.php en el plugin quiz-master-next versiones anteriores a 4.7.9 para WordPress, permite un ataque de tipo CSRF, con una vulnerabilidad de tipo XSS almacenado resultante, por medio del parámetro question_name porque el archivo js/admin_question.js maneja inapropiadamente el análisis dentro de un elemento SCRIPT.

The Quiz And Survey Master plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 4.7.8. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation in the php/qmn_options_questions_tab.php file. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page via forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
