Summary

The Chained Quiz plugin for WordPress suffers from a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting flaw, primarily affecting the 'date' parameter on the 'chainedquiz_list' page. This issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping in versions up to and including 1.3.2.3. Consequently, unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts into web pages. If a user is tricked into interacting with a crafted link, the injected scripts could execute in their browser context, potentially compromising user data or account security.

Affected Version(s)

Chained Quiz * <= 1.3.2.3
