See how academy lms compares to other vendors in security performance
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.
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 – 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.
