CVE-2026-86445

The LearnPress WordPress plugin (prior to 4.4.7) lacks proper capability checks in an admin template handler, enabling unauthenticated users

Overview

The LearnPress WordPress plugin (prior to 4.4.7) lacks proper capability checks in an admin template handler, enabling unauthenticated users to read all published quiz questions and perform keyword searches on them. This flaw exposes quiz content that should remain private to site administrators and instructors.

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.

Impact

Unauthenticated attackers can gain confidentiality of quiz data (text, identifiers, types) that is intended to be restricted to authorized users. No integrity or availability impact is reported.

Remediation

['Upgrade LearnPress to version 4.4.7 or later, which includes the missing capability checks.', "Verify that the plugin’s admin templates are protected by proper capability checks (e.g., current_user_can('manage_options')).", 'If the plugin is not required, consider disabling or uninstalling it to eliminate the risk.', 'Regularly review plugin updates and security advisories for WordPress plugins.']

Risk context

High severity (CVSS v3 7.5) indicates significant potential for data leakage. Although no EPSS score is available, the flaw permits unauthenticated disclosure of sensitive quiz content, warranting prompt patching.
