LearnPress exposes non-public quiz questions through an admin handler
LearnPress from 4.2.9 up to but not including 4.4.7: An unauthenticated requester can use an administrative template handler without capability checks to retrieve the text, identifier and type of every published quiz question and search them by keyword. These question contents are otherwise non-public. The export does not name the handler, route or search field.

- Sep 16, 2026
This CVE was published Sep 16, 2026 and is one of 81 known issues for this plugin.
Update, patch or deactivate.
Update LearnPress to 4.4.7 or later. Require the appropriate course or quiz-management capability before template responses and searches. Apply content-access checks to each returned question rather than relying on its published status.
A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.
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.
Technical description
The LearnPress WordPress plugin before 4.4.7 does not check the user's capabilities in one of its administrative template handlers, allowing unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the text, identifier and type of every published quiz question on the site, along with a keyword search over them, which is content the LearnPress WordPress plugin before 4.4.7 otherwise keeps non-public.
