CVE-2026-3226 Details
Description
The LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized email notification triggering due to missing capability checks on all 10 functions in the SendEmailAjax class in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.2.8. The AbstractAjax::catch_lp_ajax() dispatcher verifies a wp_rest nonce but performs no current_user_can() check before dispatching to handler functions. The wp_rest nonce is embedded in the frontend JavaScript for all authenticated users. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to trigger arbitrary email notifications to admins, instructors, and users, enabling email flooding, social engineering, and impersonation of admin decisions regarding instructor requests.
A vulnerability exists in the LearnPress WordPress LMS Plugin, specifically in versions through 4.3.2.8, allowing authenticated users with Subscriber-level access and above to trigger arbitrary email notifications. This issue arises from the absence of proper capability checks in the SendEmailAjax class, where the wp_rest nonce is validated but without a corresponding current_user_can() verification. As a result, affected users can impersonate admin decisions and flood email inboxes, potentially leading to social engineering opportunities.
Users are advised to update the LearnPress WordPress LMS Plugin to version 4.3.3 or a newer patched version.
