The Quiz Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 6.7.0.80. This is due to the plugin exposing quiz answers through the ays_quiz_check_answer AJAX action without proper authorization checks. The endpoint only validates a nonce, but that same nonce is publicly available to all site visitors via the quiz_maker_ajax_public localized script data. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data including quiz answers for any quiz question.
CVE-2025-12426 is a medium severity with CVSS 5.3 Sensitive Information Exposure issue affecting the Plugin Quiz Maker by AYS. It affects Versions up to 6.7.0.80 and is fixed in 6.7.0.81.
CVE-2025-12426 is tracked for the Plugin Quiz Maker by AYS as medium severity with CVSS 5.3. The affected range is Versions up to 6.7.0.80. Update Quiz Maker by AYS to 6.7.0.81 or newer where that version is compatible with the site.
