Impact

The MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin before version 3.7.46 does not properly verify authorization when retrieving order line-item data. This flaw allows any authenticated user, including those with Subscriber privileges, to access other instructors' course sales records by supplying a different instructor’s identifier. The impact is that sensitive sales information is disclosed to unauthorized users, representing a breach of confidentiality and an authorization bypass that aligns with CWE‑200 and CWE‑285 weaknesses.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin running on any WordPress installation. All versions earlier than 3.7.46 are susceptible, regardless of additional plugins or themes installed. The issue is tied to the plugin’s order-tracking functionality and specifically the handling of the author_id query parameter.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability is exploitable by any authenticated user; the attack vector is inferred to be local to the WordPress site, requiring valid login credentials. No CVSS or EPSS score is provided, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, making the precise risk assessment difficult. Nevertheless, the potential for widespread information disclosure across all subscriber accounts warrants prompt remediation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin to version 3.7.46 or newer, which includes the missing authorization check.
  • Revoke or modify the Subscriber role so it cannot read order data, ensuring role capabilities are strictly limited to allowed functions.
  • Introduce an input filter or firewall rule that blocks attempts to supply the author_id parameter from non-admin users, preventing unauthorized access to instructor order records.
