CVE-2015-10111Network attack vector

Database deletion via unbound quiz parameter

Published Jun 4, 2023 · Updated Aug 6, 2024

SQL injection in Kiboko Labs Watu Quiz 2.6.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to delete quiz data via the quiz parameter. The watu_exams function in controllers/exam.php embeds the request value directly in three DELETE queries instead of binding it as an integer. An authenticated WordPress user who can reach the exam-management deletion action can alter each WHERE clause, deleting unintended exams, questions, or answers.
