What the vulnerability does
The LifterLMS – WP LMS for eLearning, Online Courses, & Quizzes plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Unauthenticated Post Trashing due to a missing capability check on the delete_access_plan function and the related AJAX calls in all versions up to, and including, 8.0.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change status to "Trash" for every published post, therefore limiting the availability of the website's content.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
LifterLMS versions up to 8.0.1 lack proper authorization checks, allowing unauthenticated attackers to modify certain data on the site. The vulnerability requires no special setup or user interaction. Site administrators should update to a version newer than 8.0.1 to prevent unauthorized changes to course or user information.
What an attacker can do
Modify course data, user records, or other site content without logging in.
Potential impact on your site
Attackers can alter course content, student records, or settings without your knowledge or permission.
Conditions required to exploit
Network access to the site; no authentication or user interaction required.
