Impact

The MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin before version 3.7.50 fails to perform capability or nonce checks on a maintenance action triggered by a demo import. This flaw permits any authenticated user, including subscribers, to initiate the import, causing courses or lessons to be published under their own account. The result is unauthorized content creation, violating the integrity of the site's content ecosystem.

Affected Systems

All installations of MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin older than 3.7.50 are vulnerable. Users with subscriber or other non‑administrative roles on such sites can trigger the flaw. No other vendors or products are identified in the available data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates moderate severity while the EPSS score of <1% reflects a low probability of exploitation and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker only needs to be authenticated; no privilege escalation is required. The vulnerability threatens the integrity of site content and could be exploited for malicious use, but the risk is confined to the internal content domain.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin to version 3.7.50 or later to remove the vulnerability.
  • Restrict subscriber role capabilities to prevent access to the demo import function, ensuring they cannot trigger the maintenance action.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, disable the demo import feature in the plugin’s settings or by removing the corresponding capability from non‑admin roles, and monitor site logs for unauthorized content creation.
