AI-suggested
If you cannot patch yet, restrict instructor role assignments to trusted users only and monitor for unusual server request activity related to LearnPress. Avoid exposing the plugin to untrusted users with elevated privileges.
Description
The LearnPress WordPress plugin before 4.4.4 does not validate a user-supplied URL before the server fetches it, allowing users with the instructor role to induce the server to issue requests to arbitrary external hosts, a blind and bounded server-side request forgery.
