01Description

The Survey Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the 'ays_survey_show_results' AJAX endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.9.4. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view all survey submissions.
