MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an attacker to deliver a crafted URL whose 'orderby' parameter carries a script payload that LearnPress (≤4.4.7) reflects into the DOM without sufficient sanitization/output escaping, AND a victim must actively click or load that attacker-controlled link (UI:R) for the script to execute in their browser. No authentication is required of the attacker (PR:N). Key limiting factors: success depends entirely on social-engineering a user into following the malicious link, impact is confined to the victim's browser session (Low C/I, no availability or server-side compromise), and exploitation is per-victim rather than automatable against the server. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity, interaction-dependent issue rather than a top-tier emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, 6.1) confirms a network-reachable, unauthenticated flaw, but the UI:R requirement means an attacker cannot exploit it without tricking a victim into clicking a crafted link, which substantially lowers real-world likelihood of mass exploitation. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV entry, and no public POC were supplied in the input, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' - all three exploitation signals are either absent or negative and none conflict. No SSVC decision data was provided. The scope change (S:C) and only Low confidentiality/integrity impact are consistent with a reflected DOM-based XSS that executes in the victim's browser session rather than compromising the server. Net: a legitimate issue worth patching on a normal cadence, but not a high-urgency priority absent evidence of active exploitation. The affected product's wide install base (LearnPress) raises aggregate exposure even though per-target exploitation is low-probability. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker crafts a URL targeting a LearnPress page with a malicious payload in the 'orderby' parameter and lures a logged-in user (e.g. an admin or instructor) into clicking it via phishing or a planted link. When the victim's browser processes the reflected, DOM-rendered value, the injected script executes in their session context, enabling actions such as session/cookie theft or forged requests. No public exploit code is referenced in the available data, and successful attack depends on the victim clicking the attacker-supplied link. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 03, 2026
LearnPress WordPress LMS plugin versions through 4.4.7 reflect unsanitized input from the 'orderby' parameter into the DOM, allowing reflected DOM-based cross-site scripting. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a URL that, when a victim clicks or loads it, executes arbitrary script in the victim's browser session; the CVSS vector confirms PR:N and UI:R, with low confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact. This is a moderate-severity, interaction-dependent issue, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch was identified in the provided data at time of analysis. Monitor the Wordfence advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/b011448b-0598-4b9a-b558-d7be13802ebf?source=cve and the LearnPress plugin changelog, then update to a fixed release as soon as one is published; because the vulnerable range is through 4.4.7, verify that any update is newer than 4.4.7 before relying on it. If an immediate update is unavailable, deploy virtual patching or a WAF rule that strips or encodes dangerous characters such as <, >, quotes, script tags, and event handlers from the 'orderby' parameter, accepting a risk of breaking legitimate sorting/filtering; alternatively, restrict or temporarily disable LearnPress course search/sorting features that consume the 'orderby' parameter until a fix is applied, at the cost of reduced LMS functionality. Enforce a Content Security Policy that disallows inline script and untrusted script sources to reduce script execution impact, though this may require careful tuning to avoid breaking site behavior. Because exploitation requires user interaction, reinforce user awareness about not clicking unsolicited or suspicious links.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This is a CWE-79 cross-site scripting issue, specifically reflected DOM-based XSS. The LearnPress plugin fails to adequately sanitize the 'orderby' parameter and then writes it into the DOM through client-side JavaScript sinks, so script payloads execute in the victim's browser rather than being neutralized on the server. The CVSS scope-changed rating (S:C) reflects that the vulnerable component can affect resources beyond its original security authority in the browser context. The supplied CPE thimpress:learnpress_-_wordpress_lms_plugin_for_create_and_sell_online_courses:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version, consistent with all versions up to and including 4.4.7 being affected. Source references point to LearnPress 4.4.7 files including assets/src/js/admin/init-tom-select.js#L219, inc/admin/views/search-author-field.php#L43, inc/class-lp-helper.php#L546, and inc/admin/class-lp-admin-assets.php#L74, indicating the vulnerable handling is tied to admin asset loading and the Tom Select JavaScript component used for search/author selection. The underlying weakness is insufficient input sanitization combined with insufficient output escaping, allowing a crafted orderby value to be reflected into a page and executed when a user is induced to click or load an attacker-controlled link.

DescriptionCVE.org
The LearnPress - WordPress LMS Plugin for Create and Sell Online Courses plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting via the 'orderby' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
