CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe LearnPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference, allowing unauthenticated attackers to access and download course materials from lessons in paid or enrollment-required courses. This occurs due to a lack of proper authorization checks on the lp-ajax-handle endpoint, which can expose sensitive content if any course on the site has 'No Required Enroll' enabled. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize patching to mitigate potential data leaks and unauthorized access to course materials.
Original NVD Description
The LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin for Create and Sell Online Courses plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in versions up to, and including, 4.4.8 via the CourseMaterialTemplate::render_material_items() callback exposed on the public lp-ajax-handle (load_content_via_ajax) endpoint. The endpoint is explicitly listed in the AbstractAjax no-nonce allowlist and performs no capability check, and the render_material_items() handler decides authorization against one attacker-supplied identifier (course_id) while fetching the returned material rows via a second, independently attacker-supplied identifier (item_id) with no check that the lesson belongs to the authorized course. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read and download course-material files (uploaded and external file paths/URLs) belonging to lessons in paid or enrollment-required courses, provided any single course on the site has 'No Required Enroll' enabled and owns at least one material file.
