Description

The Watu Quiz plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘answer-x’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 2.5.0.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers or authenticated attackers with subscriber-level permissions and above, depending on quiz settings, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
