AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-13765 is a missing authorization vulnerability in the LearnPress WordPress LMS plugin (up to and including version 4.4.1). The issue resides in the check_answer feature, which fails to properly restrict access, enabling unauthenticated attackers to retrieve sensitive quiz data such as correct-answer markers, all answer options, explanations, and question content. This exposure affects quizzes including those in paid courses, potentially compromising course content confidentiality.
Potential Impact
