Descriptions

The Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) WordPress plugin before 9.1.1 fails to validate and escape certain Quiz fields before displaying them on a page or post where the Quiz is embedded, which could allows contributor and above roles to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks.

The Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) – Easy Quiz and Survey Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the redirect URL in all versions up to, and including, 9.1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
