CVE-2026-118054 Details
Description
The LearnPress – Course Review plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting via the 'review_title (inside `data.args.review_title`)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.2.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The injected payload only executes after an administrator approves the submitted review, though sites with comment_previously_approved auto-approval configured may bypass manual moderation.
A stored DOM-based cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the LearnPress – Course Review plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 4.2.2. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute when a user accesses the affected page, but only after an administrator approves the review. Notably, sites with auto-approval for comments may bypass this moderation step.
Users are advised to update the LearnPress – Course Review plugin to version 4.2.3 or a newer patched version.
