CVE-2026-12274 Details
Description
The Tutor LMS WordPress plugin before 3.9.13 does not 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, allowing authenticated users with instructor-level access to overwrite and take over any post or page on the site, including those owned by administrators.
A vulnerability exists in the Tutor LMS WordPress plugin in versions prior to 3.9.13. The issue arises because the plugin does not properly verify if a user has the right to edit a specific post before overwriting it in one of its content-builder save handlers. Instead, it only checks against an unrelated identifier. This flaw allows authenticated users with instructor-level access to overwrite and take control of any post or page on the site, including those owned by administrators.
Users are advised to update the Tutor LMS WordPress plugin to version 3.9.13 or later.
