CVE-2024-10633
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:LSummary
CVE-2024-10633 is a high-severity Eval Injection (CWE-95) vulnerability in Ays Pro (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 7.3 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique JavaScript (T1059.007); ranked at the 43th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-10633 is an arbitrary shortcode execution vulnerability in the Quiz Maker Business, Developer, and Agency plugins for WordPress. It affects all versions up to and including 8.8.0 for Business, 21.8.0 for Developer, and 31.8.0 for Agency. The issue arises because the plugins allow execution of an action that fails to properly validate a value before calling do_shortcode, enabling unauthenticated attackers to run arbitrary shortcodes. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) and is associated with CWE-95.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. By targeting the insufficiently validated input, they can execute arbitrary shortcodes on affected WordPress sites, leading to low impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability as per the CVSS metrics.
Mitigation details are available in advisories from Wordfence and the plugin developer's changelog and product page at ays-pro.com, which reference updates addressing the shortcode validation flaw. Security practitioners should urge site owners to update the plugins beyond the listed vulnerable versions.

Vulnerability Data
The Quiz Maker Business, Developer, and Agency plugins for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 8.8.0 (Business), up to, and including, 21.8.0 (Developer), and up to, and including, 31.8.0 (Agency). This is…
more
due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and code analysis can discover eval-injection flaws but does not stop their introduction.
Input validation explicitly requires neutralizing untrusted data before it reaches dynamic evaluation constructs such as eval.
Secure-development standards and tools can mandate safe coding patterns that avoid unsafe dynamic evaluation.

Security testing in development can detect eval injection vulnerabilities before deployment.
Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and safe coding practices that directly prevent eval injection.
Application security requirements include rules against dynamic code execution of untrusted input.
Secure architecture principles discourage unsafe dynamic evaluation constructs.
Secure coding explicitly requires neutralization of input before dynamic evaluation, directly mitigating eval injection.
Separation of environments limits the blast radius if eval injection occurs in non-production.
