CWE-639 — Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key

This CVE was published Jul 01, 2026 and is one of 81 known issues for this plugin.

What to do

Update, patch or deactivate.

No fixed release is identified. Update LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin for Create and Sell Online Courses when a release after 4.3.9.1 becomes available; until then, disable and remove it when the site's risk warrants. The official upstream changelog lists version 4.4.4, which is newer than the published affected range. Its changelog does not clearly confirm this specific fix, so it is not counted as a known-safe release.

No confirmed safe version is listed. Consider a vendor-supported patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality while you assess the risk.

Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.

Source record

Technical description

The LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin for Create and Sell Online Courses plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.9.1 via the 'userId' parameter due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to view the course enrollment progress and completion data belonging to any instructor or administrator account on the site. This IDOR does not apply when the target user is a regular subscriber, as the guard correctly blocks cross-subscriber access; exploitation is limited to cases where the victim user holds the LP_TEACHER_ROLE or administrator role.
