What the vulnerability does
The Tutor LMS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in versions up to and including 3.9.8. This is due to insufficient escaping on the 'date' parameter combined with direct interpolation into a SQL fragment before being passed to $wpdb->prepare(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Admin-level access and above to append additional SQL queries and extract sensitive information from the database.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Tutor LMS versions up to 3.9.8 contain a SQL injection vulnerability in a database query that processes user input without proper sanitization. An authenticated user with low privileges can craft a malicious request to extract sensitive data from the site's database, including user credentials and course information. The vulnerability requires valid login credentials but no additional user interaction.
What an attacker can do
Extract sensitive data from the site database, including user credentials and course information.
Potential impact on your site
