Description
SurveyKing versions 1.12.0 through 1.13.2 have an authorization bypass vulnerability in the linked survey feature. This flaw allows authenticated attackers to manipulate linked surveys belonging to other users by bypassing verification of the linked survey ID ownership. Attackers can read, modify, or create survey responses in surveys they do not own.
