SQL Injection and File Inclusion in Tutor LMS WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-08-26

Last updated on: 2026-08-26

Assigner: WPScan

Description
The Tutor LMS WordPress plugin before 4.0.6 does not validate values used to build a database query, and does not restrict which template file a request may load, allowing unauthenticated users to inject SQL and to read question and answer content belonging to courses that are not publicly available. The injected text reaches the query as grammar rather than as data, and on the database engines tested it does not yield extraction of arbitrary data, so the confidentiality impact is the disclosed course content rather than the database at large.

CWE ID Description
CWE-89 The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the Tutor LMS WordPress plugin before version 4.0.6. It allows unauthenticated users to inject SQL code into database queries and load unauthorized template files. The flaw stems from improper validation of user-supplied values used in database operations.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by checking the installed version of the Tutor LMS WordPress plugin. If the version is below 4.0.6, the system is vulnerable. Use commands like 'wp plugin list' in WordPress CLI or inspect the plugin files directly.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to read private course content from non-public courses. While they cannot extract arbitrary database data, they may access sensitive educational materials. The attack requires no authentication and can be performed remotely.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to personal or sensitive data in course content, potentially violating GDPR (data protection) and HIPAA (health information privacy) requirements. Organizations must ensure proper access controls to maintain compliance.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the Tutor LMS plugin to version 4.0.6 or later. If updating is not possible, consider disabling the plugin until the update can be applied to prevent exploitation.
