Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

MitigationUpdate to a patched version beyond 10.3.1 when available. Until then, restrict plugin access or disable the plugin to reduce exposure.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if Quiz And Survey Master plugin is present
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and search for 'Quiz And Survey Master' or 'QSM'. Alternatively, check if the directory wp-content/plugins/quiz-master-next/ exists.
    Affected if Plugin directory exists in the WordPress installation
  2. Determine the installed plugin version
    View the plugin details in the WordPress admin plugins list, or open the main plugin file (e.g., quiz-master-next/wp-quiz-manager.php) and locate the 'Version' header comment.
    Affected if Version is at or below 10.3.1 (the last known vulnerable version)
  3. Verify the plugin is active
    In the WordPress admin Plugins page, confirm the plugin status shows 'Active' rather than 'Inactive' or 'Must-Use'.
    Affected if Plugin is actively loaded and processing requests

Environment is affected if Quiz And Survey Master plugin is installed, active, and running version 10.3.1 or lower, as the SQL injection flaw exists in these versions via unsanitized user input in quiz/survey fields.
