Summary

The DT LMS – elearning, WordPress LMS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on multiple AJAX handlers (including dtlms_save_poc_settings, dtlms_save_skin_settings, and dtlms_save_options_settings) in versions up to, and including, 1.1. These handlers are registered on the wp_ajax_nopriv_* hook and contain no capability check, no nonce verification, and pass user-supplied data directly to update_option(). An unauthenticated attacker can overwrite arbitrary plugin option values stored in the wp_options table, including Point-of-Contact email configuration and skin/branding settings.

Risk Assessment

An unauthenticated attacker can alter the appearance and behavior of the LMS for all site visitors, including redirecting contact messages to their own email address. This can lead to phishing and loss of user trust.

Recommendation

Update the plugin to a version newer than 1.1 as soon as it becomes available, and in the meantime consider disabling the plugin or restricting access to the AJAX endpoints.
