Last modified
CVE-2025-10493 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.3/10 on the CVSS scale. The Chained Quiz plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in version 1.3.4 and below via the quiz submission and completion mechanisms due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to hijack and modify other users' quiz attempts by manipulating the chained_completion_id cookie value, allowing them to alter quiz answers, scores, and results of any user. EPSS estimates a 0.85% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
