4.3
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.1 via the 'attempt_delete' function due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Instructor-level access and above, to delete arbitrary quiz attempts.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2024-5438 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
