{"id":"CVE-2026-75982","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"LearnPress <= 4.4.4 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Editor+) Limited Option Update via 'field_name' Parameter","description":"The LearnPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of arbitrary WordPress options in versions up to, and including, 4.4.4 via the learnpress_create_page AJAX action. The LP_Admin_Ajax::create_page() handler only checks the edit_pages capability and a wp_rest nonce (both available to Editors), then reads the field_name parameter from the request without restricting it to a learn_press_* allow-list before passing it as the option key to LP_Helper::create_page(), which calls update_option($key_option, $page_id). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Editor-level access and above, to update arbitrary WordPress options to a positive integer (a newly created page ID), enabling actions such as flipping users_can_register to a truthy value to open public registration, corrupting active_plugins to break the site, or otherwise tampering with site-wide settings normally reserved for administrators.","publishedAt":"2026-08-25T02:26:48.639Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-25T15:20:51.772Z","severity":{"score":4.4,"label":"Medium","version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","source":"Wordfence"},"assigner":"Wordfence","products":["thimpress LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin for Create and Sell Online Courses"],"affected":[{"vendor":"thimpress","product":"LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin for Create and Sell Online Courses","defaultStatus":"unaffected","versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThanOrEqual":"4.4.4","versionType":"semver"}]}],"references":["https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/2f8b8bfe-8d73-4289-b212-7baf7bceaaf6?source=cve","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/learnpress/trunk/inc/class-lp-helper.php#L264","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/learnpress/trunk/inc/admin/class-lp-admin-ajax.php#L649","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/learnpress/trunk/inc/admin/class-lp-admin-ajax.php#L45","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3659902%40learnpress&new=3659902%40learnpress"],"weaknesses":["CWE-862"],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T20:12:58.252Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2026/75xxx/CVE-2026-75982.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.2","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2026-75982","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2026-08-25T02:26:48.639Z","dateUpdated":"2026-08-25T15:20:51.772Z","assignerShortName":"Wordfence","assignerOrgId":"b15e7b5b-3da4-40ae-a43c-f7aa60e62599","dateReserved":"2026-08-18T18:22:54.382Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"title":"LearnPress <= 4.4.4 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Editor+) Limited Option Update via 'field_name' Parameter","descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"The LearnPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of arbitrary WordPress options in versions up to, and including, 4.4.4 via the learnpress_create_page AJAX action.
