CVE-2026-3225: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in thimpress LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin for Create and Sell Online Courses
The LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized deletion of quiz question answers due to a missing capability check in the delete_question_answer() function of the EditQuestionAjax class in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.2.8. The AbstractAjax::catch_lp_ajax() dispatcher verifies a wp_rest nonce but performs no current_user_can() check, and the QuestionAnswerModel::delete() method only validates minimum answer counts without checking user capabilities. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete answer options from any quiz question on the site.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The LearnPress WordPress LMS Plugin suffers from a missing authorization (CWE-862) vulnerability in the delete_question_answer() function of the EditQuestionAjax class. Although the plugin verifies a wp_rest nonce in the AbstractAjax::catch_lp_ajax() dispatcher, it lacks a current_user_can() capability check. Additionally, the QuestionAnswerModel::delete() method only validates minimum answer counts and does not verify user permissions. This flaw permits authenticated users with Subscriber-level privileges or higher to delete answer options from any quiz question on the site, potentially impacting the integrity of quiz content.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows authenticated users with low-level privileges (Subscriber or above) to delete quiz question answers without authorization. This can lead to unauthorized modification of quiz content, affecting the integrity and reliability of online courses delivered via the LearnPress plugin. There is no direct impact on confidentiality or availability reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict user roles to trusted individuals and monitor for unusual quiz content modifications. Avoid granting Subscriber-level or higher access to untrusted users. Follow updates from the plugin vendor for an official patch.
