Published: Tue Mar 10 2026 (03/10/2026, 05:26:28 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: themeum
Product: Tutor LMS Pro

Description

The Tutor LMS Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.5 via the Social Login addon. This is due to the plugin failing to verify that the email provided in the authentication request matches the email from the validated OAuth token. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing user, including administrators, by supplying a valid OAuth token from their own account along with the victim's email address.

Technical Analysis

The Tutor LMS Pro plugin for WordPress contains an authentication bypass vulnerability (CWE-287) in all versions up to 3.9.5 through its Social Login addon. The vulnerability occurs because the plugin fails to confirm that the email address provided during authentication matches the email associated with the validated OAuth token. Consequently, an attacker can supply a valid OAuth token from their own account but specify a victim's email address, enabling unauthorized login as that victim, including users with administrative privileges. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 9.8, indicating critical severity with network attack vector, no privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication controls and gain access to any user account, including administrators, on the affected Tutor LMS Pro plugin installations. This can lead to full compromise of the affected WordPress site, including data theft, modification, or deletion, and potential further attacks leveraging administrative access.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — no official fix or patch links are provided in the available data. Users should monitor the vendor's official advisory channels for updates. Until a patch is released, consider disabling the Social Login addon or restricting its use to trusted users only to reduce exposure.
