Technical details

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Ays Pro Survey Maker plugin for WordPress (versions <= 5.2.2.5) due to improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation (CWE-79). The flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject malicious JavaScript payloads that are executed in the context of a victim's browser. Exploitation requires a victim to perform a specific action, such as clicking a malicious link (User Interaction). Successful exploitation can lead to session hijacking, unauthorized actions on behalf of a privileged user, or information disclosure. The issue is resolved in version 5.2.2.6.
