| Exploitation Conditions | The available sources do not name the specific LearnPress endpoint, feature, or parameter whose access control is missing - the description only states that incorrectly configured access-control security levels can be exploited, so the precise trigger is not described in the available sources. Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), exploitation requires no authentication, no user interaction, and no special non-default configuration: any internet-reachable WordPress site running LearnPress at or below 4.4.11 appears exploitable. The main limiting factor is impact scope - the flaw yields only confidentiality loss (C:H, I:N, A:N), i.e., unauthorized data disclosure rather than modification, account takeover, or site compromise. |
| Impact | Signals are moderate and partly incomplete. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 7.5) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw whose entire impact is confidentiality - no integrity or availability loss - consistent with a missing-authorization (CWE-862) data-exposure issue rather than code execution or takeover. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no SSVC machine-readable decision were supplied, so widespread-exploitation probability cannot be quantified from the input; the only prioritization signal is the vuln.today 'this_week' decision label and the fact that it was reported by Patchstack. No verified public exploit code is present - the single reference is a Patchstack advisory database entry, not a working PoC. Net: this is a credible, easy-to-trigger unauthenticated information-disclosure bug in a widely used WordPress plugin, warranting prompt (this-week) remediation, but there is no evidence yet of active or at-scale exploitation, and its confidentiality-only impact places it below full-compromise criticals despite the 'high' severity band. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends crafted HTTP requests to a WordPress site running a vulnerable LearnPress plugin and reaches functionality whose authorization check is missing or misconfigured, returning data that should be restricted (e.g., course content, quiz/answer material, or user information). The CVSS vector indicates this needs no authentication, no user interaction, and low complexity, so it is scriptable at scale against exposed sites. No verified working exploit code was identified in the provided sources, though a Patchstack advisory documents the issue. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 29, 2026
Missing authorization in the ThimPress LearnPress WordPress plugin, affecting versions through 4.4.11, allows unauthenticated remote attackers to reach functionality that should be access-controlled and disclose data they are not entitled to read. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) indicates no authentication, no user interaction and no non-default configuration are needed, so any internet-reachable WordPress site running an affected LearnPress release is exposed; the impact is confidentiality-only, with no integrity or availability effect. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis, and the issue is tracked by Patchstack under a broken-access-control advisory; the specific endpoint or parameter whose authorization check is missing is not described in the available sources.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch or fixed version is identified in the provided data, so there is no confirmed upgrade target to cite; the advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/learnpress/vulnerability/wordpress-learnpress-plugin-4-4-11-broken-access-control-vulnerability-3 is the authoritative place to check for an updated LearnPress release and to confirm whether 4.4.11 is the last affected version. Because the sources do not name the endpoint, feature or parameter that lacks the authorization check, a targeted workaround or precise virtual-patching rule cannot be specified from the available information; the practical interim options are to restrict exposure of the plugin's public-facing endpoints at the reverse proxy or WAF layer and to audit which LearnPress data is reachable without login, accepting that broad blocking of course and lesson routes will break legitimate unauthenticated browsing, and that any such rule is unverified against the actual vulnerable path. Track 4.4.11 and above as the affected ceiling and apply the next LearnPress release as soon as Patchstack or ThimPress confirms it addresses this CWE-862 issue.

Technical ContextAI · show details
LearnPress is a WordPress learning-management-system plugin from ThimPress that exposes course, lesson, quiz and enrollment functionality - much of it through WordPress AJAX actions and REST routes reachable by unauthenticated visitors. The assigned weakness is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): one or more of these plugin entry points performs its action without verifying that the caller holds the capability required for it, so the server-side access-control decision is effectively skipped rather than merely misconfigured. CPE data identifies the affected package as cpe:2.3:a:thimpress:learnpress across all versions up to and including 4.4.11. The CVSS metrics describe severity only: network reachable, low attack complexity, no privileges and no user interaction required, with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact - meaning the flaw yields unauthorized reading of data rather than modification, account takeover or site compromise. The available sources do not state which specific endpoint, feature or parameter carries the missing check, so the exact trigger path is not described and cannot be mapped to a particular request without further vendor or researcher detail.

DescriptionCVE.org
Missing Authorization vulnerability in ThimPress LearnPress learnpress allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects LearnPress: from n/a through 4.4.11.
Executive ViewAI
The ThimPress LearnPress WordPress plugin, versions through 4.4.11, contains a missing authorization flaw that allows unauthenticated attackers to access restricted data on internet-facing WordPress sites. This puts sensitive information at risk for organizations using LearnPress for e-learning or membership functionality, potentially leading to data breaches and reputational harm. Leadership should prioritize remediation given the plugin's widespread use and the absence of a patch.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict access to LearnPress endpoints using a WAF or IP allowlisting, disable the plugin if not essential, monitor for anomalous requests, and consider virtual patching via security vendors.
