CVE-2024-1128: CWE-74 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection') in themeum Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution
The Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to HTML Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.0. This is due to insufficient sanitization of HTML input in the Q&A functionality. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Student access and above, to inject arbitrary HTML onto a site, though it does not allow Cross-Site Scripting
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Tutor LMS plugin for WordPress suffers from an HTML Injection vulnerability (CWE-74) in its Q&A feature in all versions up to 2.6.0. Authenticated users with at least Student privileges can inject arbitrary HTML because the plugin fails to properly sanitize input before output. This vulnerability does not allow Cross-Site Scripting but can alter the HTML content rendered on the site. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.4 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and limited privileges required. No patch or official remediation guidance is currently available.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authenticated Student-level access can inject arbitrary HTML content into the site via the Q&A functionality. This can lead to content manipulation or UI disruption but does not enable direct code execution or data confidentiality breaches. There are no known exploits in the wild. The impact is limited to integrity and availability aspects rather than confidentiality.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict user privileges carefully and monitor Q&A inputs for suspicious content. Avoid granting Student or higher access to untrusted users. No official patch or temporary fix is currently documented.
