AI Analysis

Impact

A REST route in the MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin does not verify authentication or filter by publication status, enabling any unauthenticated user to request the author‑specific course list. The returned data includes titles and IDs of courses that are draft, pending, or private, thereby exposing sensitive information about courses that the site owner intends to keep unreleased or hidden.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running the Unknown:MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin before version 3.7.46 are affected. The vulnerability applies to all installations of the plugin where the default REST endpoint remains enabled and accessible to the public.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability can be exercised remotely via a simple HTTP request to the exposed REST endpoint; no privileged access, secret credentials, or additional configuration is required. The EPSS score is not available, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The lack of authentication combined with an open endpoint makes the attack vector straightforward for an attacker to identify and exploit.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin to version 3.7.46 or later to obtain the fix that requires authentication and filters by publication status.
  • If an immediate update is not possible, temporarily disable or block the course‑list REST route using a security plugin or .htaccess rule so that only authenticated administrators can access it.
  • Review the site’s REST API configuration to ensure that no other endpoints expose restricted content without proper access controls.
