AI-suggested
Until an official fix is released, restrict Instructor-level permissions to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to the 'question_id' parameter. Avoid exposing the vulnerable plugin to untrusted users. Follow up with the vendor for updates on patches or official mitigations.
Description
The Tutor LMS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘question_id’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 2.7.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Instructor-level permissions and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
