AI-suggested
Until a fix is available, restrict access to the WordPress installation and monitor for unauthorized attempts to invoke the vulnerable function. Consider disabling the LearnPress Export Import extension if feasible and Tutor LMS is installed, to reduce exposure.
Description
The LearnPress Export Import – WordPress extension for LearnPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized loss of data due to a missing capability check on the 'delete_migrated_data' function in all versions up to, and including, 4.1.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete course that have been migrated from Tutor LMS. The Tutor LMS plugin must be installed and activated in order to exploit the vulnerability.
