AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N

The Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in versions up to and including 3.9.9. This is due to the getcourseidby() function unconditionally trusting the user-supplied course GET parameter as the authoritative course ID for content ownership lookups, which is then consumed by canusermanage(), the plugin's sole authorization gate for instructor-level operations, causing it to evaluate instructor membership against the attacker-controlled course rather than the course that actually owns the target content object. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with instructor-level access and above, to perform unauthorized operations on any other instructor's course content, including permanently deleting lessons, assignments, quizzes (with cascading deletion of all student attempt data), topics, announcements, and Q&A threads, as well as creating or modifying lessons, topics, and announcements in victim courses, manipulating student quiz grades, and reading unpublished lesson and quiz content.

SQL Injection
AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

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.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N

The Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.7. This is due to missing authorization checks in the savecoursecontentorder() private method, which is called unconditionally by the tutorupdatecoursecontentorder AJAX handler. While the handler's contentparent branch includes a canusermanage() check, the savecoursecontentorder() call processes attacker-supplied tutortopicslessonssorting JSON without any ownership or capability verification. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or above to detach lessons from topics, reorder course content, and reassign lessons between topics in any course, including admin-owned courses, by sending a crafted AJAX request with manipulated topic and lesson IDs.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N

The Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized private course enrollment in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.7. This is due to missing poststatus validation in the enrollnow() and courseenrollment() functions. Both enrollment endpoints verify the nonce, user authentication, and whether the course is purchasable, but fail to check if the course has a private poststatus. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or above to enroll in private courses by sending a crafted POST request with the target course ID. The enrollment record is created in the database and the private course title and enrollment status are exposed in the subscriber's dashboard, though WordPress core access control prevents the subscriber from viewing the actual course content (returns 404). Enrollment in private courses should be restricted to users with the readprivateposts capability.
