Received Received - Intake
Unauthorized Deletion in LearnPress Plugin via Missing Capability Check

Publication date: 2026-03-23

Last updated on: 2026-03-23

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized deletion of quiz question answers due to a missing capability check in the delete_question_answer() function of the EditQuestionAjax class in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.2.8. The AbstractAjax::catch_lp_ajax() dispatcher verifies a wp_rest nonce but performs no current_user_can() check, and the QuestionAnswerModel::delete() method only validates minimum answer counts without checking user capabilities. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete answer options from any quiz question on the site.

Executive Summary

The vulnerability exists in the LearnPress WordPress LMS Plugin up to version 4.3.2.8. It allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher to delete quiz question answers without proper authorization checks.

This happens because the delete_question_answer() function in the EditQuestionAjax class lacks a capability check. Although the system verifies a wp_rest nonce, it does not check if the current user has the necessary permissions to delete answers.

Additionally, the QuestionAnswerModel::delete() method only ensures a minimum number of answers remain but does not verify user capabilities, enabling unauthorized deletion of quiz answers.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow unauthorized users with low-level access (Subscriber or above) to delete quiz question answers on a WordPress site using the LearnPress plugin.

Such unauthorized deletions can disrupt the integrity and reliability of quizzes, potentially affecting learning outcomes, user trust, and the overall functionality of the LMS.

While it does not impact confidentiality or availability directly, it does impact the integrity of quiz data.
