Technical description
The Quiz Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the ays_show_results() function in all versions up to, and including, 6.5.2.4. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to fetch arbitrary quiz results which can contain PII.
