What is CVE-2024-3600?

The Poll Maker – Best WordPress Poll Plugin plugin for WordPress exhibits a vulnerability to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to an absence of proper capability checks on the ays_poll_maker_quick_start AJAX action. Additionally, all versions up to and including 5.1.8 lack sufficient escaping and sanitization measures. This deficiency enables unauthenticated attackers to craft quizzes that can embed malicious scripts, which execute without user consent when a targeted individual visits the page, significantly increasing the risk of data theft and site compromise.

Affected Version(s)

Poll Maker – Best WordPress Poll Plugin * <= 5.1.8
