LearnPress exposes quiz answers on courses that allow unenrolled access
LearnPress from 4.4.3 up to but not including 4.4.7 returns unrestricted correctness flags when checking a quiz answer. On courses configured to be taken without enrolling, an unauthenticated requester can obtain the correct-answer status for every option of a question plus the instructor's explanation. The export does not name the answer-check endpoint, fields or handler. The disclosed access depends on that course configuration, not all private courses.

4.4.7- Published
- Sep 17, 2026
This CVE was published Sep 17, 2026 and is one of 81 known issues for this plugin.
Update, patch or deactivate.
Update LearnPress to 4.4.7 or later. Authorize quiz checks against the course's access and attempt policy, and return only the feedback permitted at that stage rather than all correctness flags. Reassess exposed quiz material after updating.
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 restrict the correctness flags it returns when a quiz answer is checked, allowing unauthenticated attackers to obtain the correct answer to every option of a question, along with the instructor's explanation, on courses configured to be taken without enrolling.
