Technical details
A time-based blind SQL injection vulnerability exists in the 'order' parameter of the Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) plugin for WordPress. The issue stems from insufficient escaping of user-supplied input and a lack of proper SQL query preparation within the QSM Quiz API. Authenticated attackers with administrator-level privileges can exploit this to append arbitrary SQL queries and extract sensitive data from the database. If the plugin's secret key is compromised, the vulnerability may also be exploitable by users with lower privilege levels. The issue is present in all versions up to and including 11.1.2.
Affected products
