Summary

The LearnPress WordPress LMS Plugin up to version 4.2.9.2 is vulnerable to data modification due to missing capability checks on Admin Tools REST endpoints, which have permission_callback set to __return_true. This allows unauthenticated attackers to perform destructive database operations, including dropping indexes on any table (including WordPress core tables), creating duplicate configuration entries, and degrading site performance.

Risk Assessment

An unauthenticated attacker can severely damage the WordPress database, potentially leading to data loss, site downtime, and performance degradation, threatening service continuity.

Recommendation

Immediately update the LearnPress plugin to the latest patched version. Additionally, consider restricting access to REST endpoints or implementing additional security measures such as a web application firewall.

This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform destructive database operations including dropping indexes on any table (including WordPress core tables like wp_options), creating duplicate configuration entries, and degrading site performance via the /wp-json/lp/v1/admin/tools/create-indexs endpoint granted they can provide table names.
