Summary

The Tutor LMS WordPress plugin before version 4.0.6 does not validate a stored file path before using it to stream media. Users with the instructor role can read arbitrary files on the server, including files outside the web root. Readable files include the WordPress configuration file, exposing database credentials and authentication keys and salts, allowing authentication cookies to be forged.

Risk Assessment

Instructors can access sensitive data, including database credentials and authentication keys, enabling session hijacking of administrators and full site compromise.

Recommendation

Update the Tutor LMS plugin to version 4.0.6 or later. Restrict instructor permissions and regularly audit file access.
