Technical details
The plugin's render_quiz_answers function fails to verify that a quiz question belongs to a course the requesting user is authorized to access. An authenticated user with subscriber+ privileges and enrollment in at least one course can request quiz question details via IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) and receive answer options for questions from unauthorized courses. The vulnerability requires authentication and course enrollment but allows privilege escalation within the course access model.
