Until a patch is available, restrict Instructor-level permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling file upload functionality if feasible. Monitor for updates from the plugin vendor (thimpress) and apply official fixes promptly once released.
Description
The LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the 'save_post_materials' function in versions up to, and including, 4.2.6.5. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Instructor-level permissions and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
