The mTouch Quiz WordPress plugin through version 3.1.3 contains a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability that was discovered in July 2022. The vulnerability affects the plugin's settings functionality and impacts WordPress installations where the plugin is active (WPScan).

Technical details

This could potentially lead to the execution of malicious JavaScript code in users' browsers (WPScan).
