Descriptions

The Chained Quiz plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'api_key' parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.3.2.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrative privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

El complemento Chained Quiz para WordPress es vulnerable a Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado a través del parámetro 'api_key' en versiones hasta la 1.3.2.2 incluida debido a una sanitización de entrada y un escape de salida insuficientes. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados con privilegios administrativos inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en páginas que se ejecutarán cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada.
