Summary

The Quiz Maker plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a time-based SQL injection attack through the 'ays_questions' parameter across all versions up to and including 6.5.8.3. This vulnerability arises from inadequate input escaping and insufficient measures in the SQL query preparation process, enabling unauthenticated attackers to insert arbitrary SQL statements.
