Until an official fix is released, users should consider disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable plugin or parameter to mitigate risk. Monitoring for updates from the vendor thimpress is strongly recommended.
Description
The LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘term_id’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 4.2.6.5 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
