CVE-2026-103917 Details
Description
The The Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) – Quiz Maker & Survey Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 11.2.7. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes. The submission nonce is dispensed to any unauthenticated caller by the public wp_ajax_nopriv_qsm_create_quiz_nonce endpoint, meaning it functions as a CSRF token rather than an authorization barrier and imposes no meaningful obstacle to exploitation.
A vulnerability allowing arbitrary shortcode execution has been identified in the Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) WordPress plugin, affecting all versions through 11.2.7. The issue arises because the plugin does not properly validate values before executing them as shortcodes, allowing unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary shortcodes. Additionally, the wp_ajax_nopriv_qsm_create_quiz_nonce endpoint provides a nonce to unauthenticated users, which acts as a CSRF token but does not effectively prevent exploitation.
Users are advised to update the Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) WordPress plugin to version 11.2.8 or a newer patched version.
