Summary

The Tutor LMS WordPress plugin before version 3.9.13 fails to verify that the requesting user is allowed to edit a target post before overwriting it in one of its content-builder save handlers, authorizing the request only against an unrelated identifier. This allows authenticated users with instructor-level access to overwrite and take over any post or page on the site, including those owned by administrators.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of instructors taking over any site content, potentially leading to defacement, data theft, or privilege escalation.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Tutor LMS plugin to version 3.9.13 or later, which includes the necessary security fixes.
