What is CVE-2023-0291?

The Quiz And Survey Master plugin for WordPress has a security flaw that allows unauthorized users to bypass legitimate access controls. This vulnerability arises from a missing capability check on the AJAX action linked to file management. As a result, unauthenticated attackers can delete arbitrary media files from the server, potentially leading to data loss or disruption of services. It is crucial for users of versions up to 8.0.8 to apply necessary updates to mitigate this risk.
