CVE-2024-8758

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) WordPress plugin versions prior to 9.1.3

Description: The issue is related to the Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) WordPress plugin, which does not properly sanitise and escape some of its settings. This could allow high-privilege users, such as admins, to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks, even when the unfiltered html capability is disallowed, for example, in a multisite setup. The vulnerability poses risks of site compromise and user data theft.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 9.1.3, upgrade the Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) WordPress plugin to version 9.1.3 or later to patch the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the plugin's settings to minimize the risk of exploitation.
