Executive Summary

CVE-2026-96537 is a vulnerability in the Tutor LMS WordPress plugin versions before 4.1.1. It involves a missing capability check in a routine that regenerates managed pages. This allows unauthenticated users to force-publish unpublished pages, overwrite existing content, create new pages, and modify page-referencing options.

Detection Guidance

Check if your Tutor LMS plugin version is below 4.1.1 by inspecting the plugin files or WordPress admin panel. Look for unauthorized page modifications or new pages created without user interaction.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to alter or delete important content on your WordPress site, publish private or draft content publicly, or change site settings without authorization. This could disrupt site functionality, damage reputation, or lead to data loss.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized modifications of website content, including pages that may store sensitive user data. Such unauthorized changes may violate compliance requirements under GDPR (data protection) and HIPAA (healthcare data privacy) by exposing or altering protected information without consent.
