CVE-2026-13443: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in themeum Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution
The Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Lesson Attachment Title in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.13 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-13443 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the Tutor LMS WordPress plugin, specifically in the Lesson Attachment Title input. Versions up to and including 3.9.13 do not properly sanitize or escape input, allowing authenticated users with author-level privileges or above to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users who access the compromised pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (medium severity) with network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with author-level or higher privileges can inject persistent malicious scripts into lesson attachment titles. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the affected pages, potentially compromising user sessions or data confidentiality and integrity. There is no direct impact on availability. The vulnerability requires authenticated access but no user interaction to trigger the script execution.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch is currently documented. Until a patch is available, restrict author-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting the use of lesson attachment titles as a temporary workaround.
