Summary

The Tutor LMS WordPress plugin before version 3.9.13 does not perform any authorization or post-target validation before creating a comment in one of its handlers, and stores the comment pre-approved. This allows authenticated users with subscriber-level access and above to post auto-approved comments containing arbitrary HTML and links on any content across the site, bypassing the comment moderation queue.

Risk Assessment

The organization is exposed to spam, injection of malicious HTML code, and links to dangerous websites, which can lead to data leakage, malware infection, or loss of user trust.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Tutor LMS plugin to version 3.9.13 or later, which includes a fix for this vulnerability.
