CVE-2024-8488: Survey Maker – Customer Satisfaction Questionnaire, Chat Survey, Calculation Form, Payment Forms <= 4.9.7 - Authenticated (Admin+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting
First published: Tue Oct 08 2024(Updated: )
The Survey Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Survey fields in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
