3DescriptionCVE.org
The DT LMS - elearning, WordPress LMS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on multiple AJAX handlers (including dtlms_save_poc_settings, dtlms_save_skin_settings, and dtlms_save_options_settings) in versions up to, and including, 1.1. These handlers are registered on the wp_ajax_nopriv_* hook and contain no capability check, no nonce verification, and pass user-supplied data directly to update_option(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite arbitrary plugin option values stored in the wp_options table, including Point-of-Contact email configuration and skin/branding settings, which can be used to alter the appearance and behavior of the LMS for all site visitors.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated option-overwrite in DT LMS <=1.1 allows any remote attacker to modify arbitrary plugin settings stored in the WordPress wp_options table by calling three unprotected AJAX handlers - dtlms_save_poc_settings, dtlms_save_skin_settings, and dtlms_save_options_settings - that are registered on wp_ajax_nopriv_* with no nonce validation, no capability check, and no input filtering before update_option() is invoked. Confirmed by Wordfence with direct source-code references; a patch commit (changeset 3585901) is present in the WordPress plugin repository but the exact released version number is not stated in available data. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target WordPress site has the DT LMS plugin (version ≤1.1) installed and activated, and that the standard WordPress admin-ajax.php endpoint is reachable over the network - a condition true for virtually all public WordPress installations. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | CVSS 5.3 Medium (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) accurately reflects the attack profile: trivially reachable over the network with no authentication, but with a constrained impact ceiling limited to integrity of plugin-managed options only. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Update the DT LMS plugin to a version beyond 1.1; a fix has been committed to the WordPress.org plugin SVN repository at changeset 3585901 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3585901%40dt-lms-lite&new=3585901%40dt-lms-lite). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
