- CVE-2026-8995, 29 May 2026
- The Poll Maker - Versus Polls, Anonymous Polls, Image Polls plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in versions up to and including 6.3.7. This is due to insufficient access controls on the 'ays_poll_get_user_information' AJAX action, which serializes and returns the complete WP_User object - including the user_pass (bcrypt password hash), user_email, user_login, user_registered, roles, and all capabilities - without any nonce verification or capability check beyond is_user_logged_in(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to retrieve sensitive account data including their own password hash, which WordPress does not expose through any of its standard interfaces and which can be leveraged for offline password-cracking attacks. CVE record
- CVE-2025-12620, 13 Nov 2025
- The Poll Maker - Versus Polls, Anonymous Polls, Image Polls plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the ‘filterbyauthor’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.7 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. CVE record
- CVE-2024-12575, 16 Aug 2025
- The Poll Maker - Versus Polls, Anonymous Polls, Image Polls plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Basic Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 5.8.9 via the 'ays_finish_poll' AJAX action.

- CVE-2024-13602, 16 Mar 2025
- The Poll Maker WordPress plugin before 5.5.4 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup). CVE record
- CVE-2024-12115, 7 Dec 2024
- The Poll Maker - Versus Polls, Anonymous Polls, Image Polls plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.4.

This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to duplicate polls via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. CVE record
- CVE-2024-9874, 9 Nov 2024
- The Poll Maker - Versus Polls, Anonymous Polls, Image Polls plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘orderby’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.4.6 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. CVE record
- CVE-2024-9462, 26 Oct 2024
- The Poll Maker - Versus Polls, Anonymous Polls, Image Polls plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via poll settings in all versions up to, and including, 5.4.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.
