CVE-2025-6184: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in themeum Tutor LMS Pro
The Tutor LMS Pro – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘order’ parameter used in the get_submitted_assignments() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.7.0 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 Tutor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. Only the Pro version is affected.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-6184 is a high-severity SQL Injection vulnerability in the Tutor LMS Pro WordPress plugin (up to version 3.7.0). It arises from insufficient escaping and preparation of the 'order' parameter in the get_submitted_assignments() function, enabling authenticated users with Tutor-level privileges or higher to append additional SQL queries. This can lead to unauthorized extraction of sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability is not reported to be exploited in the wild and affects only the Pro version of the plugin.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with Tutor-level access or above to perform time-based SQL Injection attacks, potentially leading to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive database information, full compromise of data confidentiality, integrity, and availability within the affected plugin's database context.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Tutor-level access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to the 'order' parameter in get_submitted_assignments().
