What is CVE-2019-14230?

The Viral Quiz Maker - OnionBuzz plugin for WordPress suffers from a SQL injection vulnerability due to insufficient sanitization of the 'id' parameter within the set_count ajax nopriv handler. This oversight allows unauthenticated users to manipulate SQL queries in the saveQuestionVote function, potentially leading to unauthorized data exposure and remote code execution. Users are advised to update to version 1.2.7 or later to mitigate this security risk.
