Published: 07/16/2026 (07/16/2026, 07:51:03 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: themeum
Product: Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution

Description

The Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via Stored Quiz Answer Array in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. The payload is stored at quiz-attempt time via the wp_ajax_tutor_quiz_abandon handler, but the injected SQL executes only when a privileged user or Tutor REST API key holder requests the /wp-json/tutor/v1/quiz-attempt-details/{id} endpoint, making this a second-order (stored) injection chain.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-15022 is a stored SQL Injection vulnerability in the Tutor LMS WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 4.0.0. The issue arises from insufficient escaping of user-supplied parameters in the stored quiz answer array and lack of proper SQL query preparation. Authenticated attackers with custom-level access or above can inject additional SQL queries during quiz attempts via the wp_ajax_tutor_quiz_abandon handler. The injected SQL executes later when privileged users or Tutor REST API key holders request the /wp-json/tutor/v1/quiz-attempt-details/{id} endpoint, enabling extraction of sensitive information from the database. There is no indication of a patch or official remediation at this time.

Potential Impact

The vulnerability allows authenticated users with custom-level access or higher to perform stored SQL injection attacks that can extract sensitive information from the database. The confidentiality of data is impacted (high), but integrity and availability are not affected. Exploitation requires authentication and elevated privileges to trigger the injected payload, limiting the attack surface.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict custom-level and higher user access to trusted users only. Monitor for suspicious activity related to quiz attempts and API access. Avoid exposing the /wp-json/tutor/v1/quiz-attempt-details/{id} endpoint to untrusted parties. Follow vendor updates for official patches or mitigations.
