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 | Prerequisite: a target WordPress site running Masteriyo LMS plugin version 3.4.3 or earlier, reachable over the network. Per the supplied vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), no authentication and no user interaction are required, so default installations of the affected versions are exploitable remotely by unauthenticated attackers. The available sources do not describe the exact feature, endpoint, or configuration that triggers the deletion, so the specific trigger is not described in the available sources. The only firm limiting factor is version: sites updated past 3.4.3 are not in the stated affected range. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but mid-tier priority. The supplied CVSS:3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes a remotely reachable flaw requiring no authentication, no user interaction and low attack complexity - the easy-to-reach end of the spectrum - but the input-supplied base score is only 6.5 (MEDIUM) because the provided vector caps impact at C:L/I:L/A:N. There is a notable tension here: the vulnerability is titled 'Arbitrary Content Deletion' (a strong integrity/availability concern, CWE-862 Missing Authorization), yet the provided vector rates integrity only Low and availability None, which understates the practical effect of unauthenticated arbitrary deletion - this is why my independent assessment below raises the integrity metric. KEV status is NOT listed, so there is no confirmation of active exploitation. No EPSS score was provided in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified from the data given - its absence is not evidence of low risk, it is simply missing. No verified public exploit code is present in the input; the only reference is the Patchstack advisory. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', consistent with a serious-but-not-emergency issue. Net: a network-reachable, unauthenticated missing-authorization bug in a widely used WordPress plugin warrants prompt patching, but with no KEV, no EPSS and no confirmed exploit, it reads as 'patch this cycle' rather than drop-everything. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends crafted HTTP requests to a WordPress site running Masteriyo LMS 3.4.3 or earlier, invoking a plugin endpoint that fails to verify authorization (CWE-862) before deleting content. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no login, no victim interaction and no special complexity are required against a default install. The exact triggering endpoint is not described in the available sources; no public exploit identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026
Unauthenticated arbitrary content deletion in Masteriyo LMS 3.4.3 and earlier lets remote attackers remove content from WordPress sites without authentication or user interaction. The issue is a missing authorization check (CWE-862) in the LMS plugin, and the supplied sources do not identify the exact endpoint or feature that triggers deletion. It is a genuine but mid-tier priority for this-month remediation; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV confirmation is present in the supplied data.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the Masteriyo LMS plugin to a release later than 3.4.3; the supplied data does not specify an exact patched version number, so confirm the current fixed release in the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/learning-management-system/vulnerability/wordpress-masteriyo-lms-plugin-3-4-3-arbitrary-content-deletion-vulnerability?_s_id=cve. Because the exact vulnerable endpoint, feature, or configuration is not described in the supplied sources, no targeted workaround or endpoint-specific blocking rule can be derived from the available evidence; the only confirmed remediation boundary is updating past 3.4.3.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Masteriyo LMS is a WordPress learning-management-system plugin; the CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:masteriyo:masteriyo_-_lms:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the plugin family without version granularity, while the advisory scope is through version 3.4.3. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) is the root-cause class: an action that should require a capability or permission check can be reached without one, which in this case permits deletion of arbitrary content. The supplied CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N; the independent assessment records AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N, agreeing on network reachability, low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction but rating the integrity effect as High. The available sources do not describe the vulnerable endpoint, REST route, AJAX action, or configuration, so the specific trigger remains unverified; the only confirmed limiting factor is the version range through 3.4.3.
