Until a fix is available, restrict access to the affected REST API endpoint if possible or implement additional access controls to prevent unauthenticated requests from retrieving sensitive course data.

Description

LearnPress WordPress LMS Plugin versions up to and including 4.3.6 contains a missing authorization vulnerability. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive information such as plaintext passwords and content of unpublished courses by manipulating specific API parameters. The vulnerability is due to insufficient access control on the /wp-json/lp/v1/courses/archive-course endpoint.
