CVE-2026-6448: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in expresstech Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) – Easy Quiz and Survey Maker
Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) – Easy Quiz and Survey Maker plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 11.1.2 is vulnerable to a time-based blind SQL Injection via the 'order' parameter. This vulnerability allows authenticated users with admin-level privileges or higher to inject additional SQL queries due to insufficient input escaping and lack of proper query preparation. Exposure of the secret key could enable exploitation by lower-privileged users.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-6448 describes a time-based blind SQL Injection vulnerability in the 'order' parameter of the Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 11.1.2. The vulnerability arises from insufficient escaping of user input and inadequate preparation of SQL queries, allowing authenticated users with admin privileges to append malicious SQL commands. If the secret key is leaked, attackers with lower privileges may also exploit this flaw to extract sensitive database information.
Potential Impact
An attacker with admin-level access can exploit this vulnerability to perform SQL Injection attacks, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability does not impact availability or integrity directly but compromises confidentiality. If the secret key is exposed, users with lower privileges may also exploit the vulnerability, increasing the risk of data leakage.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation has been confirmed at this time. Users should monitor the vendor advisory for updates and apply any forthcoming fixes promptly. Until a fix is available, restrict admin-level access to trusted users only and protect the secret key to prevent exploitation by lower-privileged users.
