What is CVE-2022-4209?

The Chained Quiz plugin for WordPress is susceptible to reflected cross-site scripting due to inadequate input sanitization for the 'pointsf' parameter on the 'chainedquiz_list' page. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts, potentially deceiving users into executing malicious actions simply by clicking on compromised links. Upgrading to the latest version of the plugin is crucial to mitigate this risk.
