Unauthenticated database disclosure via spoofed IP header
Published Sep 17, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
SQL injection in AYS Pro Quiz Maker 6.7.0.56 and earlier allows remote attackers to read database data through a spoofed IP header. In class-quiz-maker-public.php, the IP-based user-limit query incorporates a client IP from X-Forwarded-For without sufficient escaping or preparation. Exploitation requires IP-based user limiting and a server configuration that trusts a user-supplied IP header; successful queries expose database contents.
