What the vulnerability does
The Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized course enrollment in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.3. This is due to a missing capability check and purchasability validation in the `course_enrollment()` AJAX handler. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber level access and above, to enroll themselves in any course without going through the proper purchase flow.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
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. The vulnerability requires login but no special interaction from victims. Update to a version newer than 3.9.3 to resolve this issue.
What an attacker can do
Modify course or user data they don't own or have permission to change.
Potential impact on your site
Students or instructors could alter courses, grades, or other users' information without authorization.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a valid low-privilege account on the site; no user interaction required.
