The Masteriyo LMS WordPress plugin before 3.4.0 does not sanitise and escape some course settings before outputting them in a page available to all visitors, allowing users with a course-author role to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks that run in the session of anyone viewing the course, including a logged-in administrator.

The Masteriyo LMS WordPress plugin before 2.3.3 does not sanitise and escape a quiz field before outputting it back in a page, and grants its instructor role the ability to store unfiltered HTML, allowing such users to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against any visitor of the affected page, including administrators. This affects default single-site installations. Sites running multisite, or defining DISALLOWUNFILTEREDHTML, are not affected as the capability is not granted there.

The Masteriyo LMS – Online Course Builder for eLearning, LMS & Education plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in versions up to and including 2.1.7. This is due to insufficient webhook signature verification in the handlewebhook() function. The webhook endpoint processes unauthenticated requests and only performs signature verification if both the webhooksecret setting is configured AND the HTTPSTRIPESIGNATURE header is present. Since webhooksecret defaults to an empty string, the webhook processes attacker-controlled JSON payloads without any verification. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to send fake Stripe webhook events with arbitrary orderid values in the metadata, mark any order as completed without payment, and gain unauthorized access to paid course content.
