AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-10824 is an improper access control vulnerability (CWE-284) in the Masteriyo LMS WordPress plugin prior to version 2.2.1. The vulnerability exists because the plugin does not perform authorization checks in its course-progress REST API controller, enabling unauthenticated attackers to access and delete course-progress data of any user.
Potential Impact
An attacker can read sensitive course-progress information of any user and permanently delete these records without authentication. This compromises user data confidentiality and integrity within the affected LMS environment.
