CVE-2026-6080: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in themeum Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution
The Tutor LMS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in versions up to and including 3.9.8. This is due to insufficient escaping on the 'date' parameter combined with direct interpolation into a SQL fragment before being passed to $wpdb->prepare(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Admin-level access and above to append additional SQL queries and extract sensitive information from the database.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-6080 is an SQL Injection vulnerability in the Tutor LMS WordPress plugin (up to version 3.9.8). The issue arises from insufficient escaping of the 'date' parameter, which is directly interpolated into a SQL fragment before being passed to $wpdb->prepare(). This improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89) enables authenticated users with Admin-level access to append arbitrary SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data disclosure. The vulnerability is network exploitable with low attack complexity and requires privileges but no user interaction. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5 (medium severity). No vendor-provided patch or official remediation is currently documented.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker with Admin-level privileges can exploit this vulnerability to perform SQL Injection attacks, allowing them to append additional SQL queries and extract sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability does not impact availability or integrity but compromises confidentiality. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Admin-level access to trusted users only and monitor for unusual database activity related to the 'date' parameter. Avoid exposing the vulnerable plugin on publicly accessible environments where possible.
