What the vulnerability does
The Quiz Maker by AYS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'rate_reason' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.7.1.29 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Quiz Maker by AYS versions up to 6.7.1.29 contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts. The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without user interaction, and the impact extends beyond the vulnerable component. This could allow attackers to steal session data or redirect site visitors to malicious pages.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious JavaScript that runs in visitors' browsers and steals session cookies or redirects them to phishing sites.
Potential impact on your site
Visitors to your site may have their sessions hijacked or be redirected to malicious content without your knowledge.
Conditions required to exploit
