The Watu Quiz plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘dn’, 'email', 'points', and 'date' parameters in versions up to, and including, 3.3.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

CVE-2023-0968 [MEDIUM] WordPress Watu Quiz <3.3.9.1 - Cross-Site Scripting
WordPress Watu Quiz <3.3.9.1 - Cross-Site Scripting
WordPress Watu Quiz plugin before 3.3.9.1 is susceptible to cross-site scripting. The plugin does not sanitize and escape some parameters, such as email, dn, date, and points, before outputting then back in a page. An attacker can inject arbitrary script in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. This exploit can be used against high-privilege users such as admin.
