See how academy lms compares to other vendors in security performance
The Academy LMS – WordPress LMS Plugin for Complete eLearning Solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.8 via the 'enqueuesocialloginscript' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data including the Facebook App Secret if Facebook Social Login is enabled.
The Academy LMS WordPress plugin before 4.0.0 does not verify that a quiz question belongs to the course the requesting user is authorized to access before returning that question's answer options, allowing any authenticated user with access to a single course, such as an enrolled student, to read the quiz answer options of questions belonging to other courses they are not enrolled in.
The Academy LMS WordPress plugin before 4.0.0 does not verify course enrollment or object ownership when returning a lesson's content through one of its REST API routes, allowing users with a self-registerable student account to read the full content of arbitrary lessons, including lessons of paid or private courses they are not enrolled in.
The Academy LMS WordPress plugin before 3.8.1 does not verify ownership of a user-supplied user identifier in several of its lesson AJAX handlers, allowing authenticated users with subscriber-level access to read and modify other users' lesson notes and mark other users' lesson content as completed.
The Academy LMS – eLearning and online course solution for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.19. This is due to plugin allowing arbitrary user meta updates through the saveduserinfo() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with minimal permissions such as students, to elevate their user role to that of an administrator.
