CVE-2026-85571 Details
Description
The Tutor LMS WordPress plugin before 4.1.1 does not verify that the posts named in its course content ordering requests belong to a course the requester manages, allowing users with instructor level access to reassign the parent of any post on the site, taking other instructors' course content into their own courses and making arbitrary published content unreachable.
A vulnerability exists in the Tutor LMS WordPress plugin in versions prior to 4.1.1. The issue arises because the plugin does not properly verify that posts involved in course content ordering requests are associated with a course managed by the requester. This flaw allows users with instructor-level access to change the parent of any post on the site, effectively transferring other instructors' course content into their own courses. Additionally, this manipulation can render certain published content inaccessible.
Users are advised to update the Tutor LMS WordPress plugin to version 4.1.1 or later.
