MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated account with at least low privileges (PR:L) on a WordPress site running LearnPress version ≤4.4.11; the specific vulnerable feature or endpoint is not described in the available sources, which characterize it only as incorrectly configured access control (missing authorization, CWE-862). Limiting factors that reduce real-world risk: the attacker must possess a valid low-privilege account (though LMS sites offering courses frequently permit open self-registration, easing this), impact is limited to partial confidentiality and integrity (C:L/I:L) with no availability impact, and scope is unchanged. No user interaction is required once authenticated. |
| Impact | This is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.4) missing-authorization flaw (CWE-862) whose signals point to a moderate, not urgent, priority. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity issue that nonetheless requires some authenticated privilege (PR:L) and yields only limited confidentiality and integrity impact with no availability effect. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month' rather than act_now/emergency, consistent with the moderate CVSS. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no verified public exploit are present in the supplied data, so there is no evidence of active exploitation or a published weaponized PoC. The one reference is a Patchstack advisory (the reporter), which confirms the finding but is not exploit code. Net: a genuine but modest fix-this-cycle issue, not a high-CVSS-but-hollow finding nor a drop-everything emergency. Key missing signals to note explicitly: EPSS and KEV data are absent from the input (absence is not evidence either way), and the fixed version is not stated in the available sources - verify remediation with ThimPress/Patchstack. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | On a WordPress site running LearnPress ≤4.4.11, an attacker who holds a low-privilege account (such as a student/subscriber, which LMS sites commonly allow self-registration for) sends a request to a LearnPress function whose access-control check is missing or misconfigured, letting them read or alter data beyond their authorization. The exact vulnerable endpoint and trigger are not described in the available sources, and no verified public exploit code was identified. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 26, 2026
LearnPress through 4.4.11 contains a missing-authorization flaw (CWE-862, CVSS 5.4) that lets an authenticated low-privilege user perform actions outside their intended role, with limited confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact. The priority signal is this_month, no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no CISA KEV entry is present, so this is a moderate rather than urgent issue; a valid account is required, although open LMS self-registration can make obtaining one easier.
RemediationAI
Update LearnPress to a release later than 4.4.11 once ThimPress or Patchstack confirms the fixed version; the available data identifies 4.4.11 as the last affected release but does not provide an exact patched version or patch commit, so verify the corrected release in the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/learnpress/vulnerability/wordpress-learnpress-plugin-4-4-11-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) and ThimPress release notes before deploying. If no update is confirmed, reduce exposure by closing or manually approving self-registration on LMS sites so unvetted low-privilege accounts cannot be created, and consider disabling the LearnPress plugin until a fix is available; the trade-offs are reduced enrollment and loss of LMS functionality. Because the vulnerable feature or endpoint is not named in the available sources, no targeted feature-level workaround can be specified.

Technical ContextAI · show details
LearnPress is a WordPress LMS plugin, and CWE-862 denotes missing authorization: at least one action lacks the permission check that should restrict it to authorized roles. The supplied sources do not describe the vulnerable endpoint, feature, or exact check, so the trigger is not described in the available sources; the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N confirms network reachability, low privileges, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and partial confidentiality/integrity impact. Source tags call this an authentication bypass, but the authoritative assessment frames it as an authenticated low-privilege user exceeding intended access rather than a confirmed pre-auth bypass.
