Unauthenticated Broken Authentication in Masteriyo - LMS <= 2.1.8 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated broken authentication in the Masteriyo LMS WordPress plugin (versions ≤2.1.8) stems from improper JWT signature verification (CWE-347), allowing remote attackers to forge authentication tokens without valid credentials and gain unauthorized access to protected LMS resources. The CVSS:3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms fully unauthenticated, low-complexity network exploitation, enabling an attacker to impersonate enrolled students or instructors and read or modify course-related data. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The Masteriyo - LMS WordPress plugin must be installed and active on a WordPress site at version 2.1.8 or earlier. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) reflects a remotely exploitable, unauthenticated flaw with low attack complexity, representing a straightforward exploit path for any network-capable attacker. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A remote, unauthenticated attacker identifies a WordPress site running Masteriyo LMS 2.1.8 via HTTP response headers or plugin enumeration, then crafts a forged JWT payload - for example using the 'none' algorithm or a predicted/empty signing secret - to claim the identity of a known or guessed student account. The attacker submits this forged token in REST API requests to Masteriyo LMS endpoints, gaining unauthorized access to enrolled course content, personal user data, or the ability to manipulate course completion records. … |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to update the Masteriyo - LMS WordPress plugin to a version above 2.1.8 as soon as a patched release is available from ThemeGrill. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
