What the vulnerability does
01Description
The Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification and deletion of data due to a missing capability check on the 'bulk_action_handler' and 'coupon_permanent_delete' functions in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber level access and above, to delete, activate, deactivate, or trash arbitrary coupons.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
02Summary
Tutor LMS versions up to 3.9.3 lack proper authorization checks, allowing authenticated users to modify content they should not have access to. An attacker with a low-privilege account can change data belonging to other users or courses without permission. The vulnerability requires login but no special user role.
