The CVSS vector confirms this is network-exploitable with low complexity and no user interaction required beyond holding a subscriber-level account. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must possess a valid subscriber-level WordPress account on the target site - the CVSS PR:L metric confirms this as the required privilege level. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 6.5 score is driven by an AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N vector, reflecting a network-reachable flaw requiring only a subscriber account and no user interaction, with high confidentiality impact but no write or availability consequences. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker registers a free subscriber account on a target WordPress site running MasterStudy LMS 3.7.41, a common workflow on open-enrollment e-learning platforms. Authenticated as a subscriber, they send crafted HTTP requests to plugin endpoints that should be gated to instructor or administrator roles, bypassing the missing authorization check to retrieve sensitive records such as student data, hidden course materials, or internal configurations. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade MasterStudy LMS to a version beyond 3.7.41; the specific patched release version is not independently confirmed from available intelligence and must be verified via the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/masterstudy-lms-learning-management-system/vulnerability/wordpress-masterstudy-lms-plugin-3-7-41-broken-access-control-vulnerability or the official WordPress plugin repository. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
