Description
The Quiz And Survey Master plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to insecure direct object reference in versions up to, and including, 7.3.6. This is due to insufficient validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with author-level capabilities and above to reset and delete quizzes.
