A vulnerability was found in Watu Quiz Plugin up to 2.6.7 on WordPress. It has been rated as critical. This issue affects the function watu_exams of the file controllers/exam.php of the component Exam Handler. The manipulation of the argument quiz leads to sql injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. Upgrading to version 2.6.8 is able to address this issue. The patch is named bf42e7cfd819a3e76cf3e1465697e89f4830590c. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-230651.
The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
