AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N
Unauthenticated network-accessible AJAX endpoint; both C and I rated Low because zero-argument invocation constraint prevents full RCE and limits account creation to subscriber level.
Primary rating from Vendor (Wordfence).

The Tutor LMS - eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution limited to zero-argument function invocation in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.5 via the tutor_course_filter_ajax AJAX action. This is due to missing authorization on the handler combined with unsanitized array keys being passed to extract() inside tutor_load_template(), allowing attacker-controlled POST data to overwrite the local $template variable and, in the resulting templates/single-content-loader.php template, the $method_map and $context variables invoked at $method_map[$context](). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to call an arbitrary zero-argument PHP function server-side and, via WordPress core edit_user(), to create a persistent subscriber-level account from request parameters.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated remote PHP function invocation in the Tutor LMS WordPress plugin (all versions up to and including 4.0.5) allows any internet-accessible attacker to call arbitrary zero-argument PHP functions server-side via a missing-authorization AJAX handler combined with extract()-based variable injection into a template scope. The most critical demonstrated impact is persistent subscriber-level account creation through WordPress core's edit_user() function, which reads POST parameters directly, enabling unauthenticated user registration on any affected site. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires: (1) the Tutor LMS plugin installed and active at version 4.0.5 or earlier; (2) the WordPress AJAX endpoint wp-admin/admin-ajax.php reachable over the network - true by default for any internet-facing WordPress site; (3) the tutor_course_filter_ajax action registered, which occurs automatically on plugin activation with no additional configuration. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The NVD CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) accurately reflects the unauthenticated, network-accessible, zero-complexity attack surface but arguably understates real-world integrity impact given persistent account creation capability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade Tutor LMS to version 4.0.6 or later; the fix is evidenced by the trac changeset between the 4.0.5 and 4.0.6 tags (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?old_path=%2Ftutor/tags/4.0.5&new_path=%2Ftutor/tags/4.0.6), though this version has not been confirmed via an explicit vendor changelog entry - confirm via the WordPress plugin repository before deploying. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
