What the vulnerability does
The Survey Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the deactivate_plugin_option() function in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.9.4. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the ays_survey_maker_upgrade_plugin option.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms

The vulnerability requires no user interaction and affects the integrity of stored surveys. Site administrators should update to a version newer than 5.1.9.4 to prevent unauthorized changes.
What an attacker can do
Modify survey data without authentication or permission.
Potential impact on your site
Survey content can be altered by anyone without a user account, compromising data integrity.
Conditions required to exploit
