Summary

The MasterStudy LMS Pro Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'columns' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.8.20 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with instructor-level access or above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can steal user data, including passwords, email addresses, and other sensitive information stored in the WordPress database.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update the MasterStudy LMS Pro Plus plugin to a version later than 4.8.20 and restrict user privileges to the minimum necessary.
