Mar 24, 2026
Research Description
The Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'merged_question' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 10.3.5. This is due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input before being used in a SQL query.

This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

The Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) – Easy Quiz and Survey Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘is_linking’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 10.3.1 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

CVE-2026-5797

Date
Apr 17, 2026
Research Description
The Quiz And Survey Master plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary Shortcode Execution in versions up to and including 11.1.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and the execution of do_shortcode() on user-submitted quiz answer text. User-submitted answers pass through sanitize_text_field() and htmlspecialchars(), which only strip HTML tags but do not encode or remove shortcode brackets [ and ]. When quiz results are displayed, the plugin calls do_shortcode() on the entire results page output (including user answers), causing any injected shortcodes to be executed. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary WordPress shortcodes such as [qsm_result id=X] to access other users' quiz submissions without authorization, as the qsm_result shortcode lacks any authorization checks.
Affected versions
max 11.1.1.

Research Description
The Quiz Master Next plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via stored quiz page data in versions up to, and including, 11.2.0. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied 'pages' parameter persisted by the qsm_ajax_save_pages() AJAX handler (sanitize_text_field only) and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query built in qsm_options_questions_tab_content() at line 143, where the stored page IDs are interpolated into an IN() clause via implode() with no $wpdb->prepare() and no integer casting. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above (who can own a quiz they are entitled to edit), to plant a SQL payload that is executed second-order whenever any user (including an administrator) views the quiz's Questions tab, allowing them to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
