What the vulnerability does
The WP Learn Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.8. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to install and activate arbitrary plugins from the WordPress.org repository on the vulnerable site.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
WP Learn Manager versions 1.1.8 and earlier lack proper authorization checks, allowing unauthenticated attackers to perform administrative actions remotely. An attacker can read, modify, or delete site data without logging in. This affects all installations of the plugin. Update immediately to a version newer than 1.1.8.
What an attacker can do
Read, modify, or delete site data without authentication.
