CVE-2026-4365LearnPress <= 4.3.2.8 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Arbitrary Quiz Answer Deletion
Critical 9.1
In plain English
A critical-severity missing authorization in LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin for Create and Sell Online Courses from thimpress. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.9% (higher than 59% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The LearnPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized data deletion due to a missing capability check on the `delete_question_answer()` function in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.2.8. The plugin exposes a `wp_rest` nonce in public frontend HTML (`lpData`) to unauthenticated visitors, and uses that nonce as the only security gate for the `lp-load-ajax` AJAX dispatcher. The `delete_question_answer` action has no capability or ownership check. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete any quiz answer option by sending a crafted POST request with a publicly available nonce.
