CVE-2026-93882

AI risk analysis
- Summary
- The LearnPress WordPress plugin has an insecure direct object reference vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to access course materials from paid or enrollment-required courses by exploiting a public AJAX endpoint. This occurs because the system uses two separate identifiers for authorization and data retrieval without properly validating that the lesson belongs to the authorized course.
- Exploitability
- The vulnerability is easily exploitable with no prerequisites as attackers can directly call the public lp-ajax-handle endpoint with any course_id and item_id parameters to access unauthorized course materials.
- Blast radius
- An attacker could potentially access all course material files from any paid or enrollment-required course on the site, including uploaded files and external URLs, if at least one course has 'No Required Enroll' enabled.
- Detection
- No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
- Prioritized remediation
- Upgrade to LearnPress version 4.4.9 or later to fix this vulnerability.

NVD description
The LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin for Create and Sell Online Courses plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in versions up to, and including, 4.4.8 via the CourseMaterialTemplate::render_material_items() callback exposed on the public lp-ajax-handle (load_content_via_ajax) endpoint. The endpoint is explicitly listed in the AbstractAjax no-nonce allowlist and performs no capability check, and the render_material_items() handler decides authorization against one attacker-supplied identifier (course_id) while fetching the returned material rows via a second, independently attacker-supplied identifier (item_id) with no check that the lesson belongs to the authorized course. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read and download course-material files (uploaded and external file paths/URLs) belonging to lessons in paid or enrollment-required courses, provided any single course on the site has 'No Required Enroll' enabled and owns at least one material file.
