What to do
AI-suggested
Users should monitor the vendor advisory for updates. In the meantime, restricting access to the AJAX endpoint or disabling the plugin until a fix is available may mitigate exposure. Since the nonce is publicly accessible, nonce validation alone is insufficient to prevent exploitation.
Description
The Quiz Maker plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 6.7.0.80 has a vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive quiz answers. This occurs because the plugin exposes quiz answers through an AJAX action without proper authorization, relying only on a nonce that is publicly accessible to all site visitors.
