CVE-2026-3225: LearnPress <= 4.3.2.8 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary Quiz Answer Deletion

Published Mar 23, 2026
·
Updated

The LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized deletion of quiz question answers due to a missing capability check in the deletequestionanswer() function of the EditQuestionAjax class in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.2.8. The AbstractAjax::catchlpajax() dispatcher verifies a wprest nonce but performs no currentusercan() check, and the QuestionAnswerModel::delete() method only validates minimum answer counts without checking user capabilities. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete answer options from any quiz question on the site.
