CVE-2026-88843 Details
Description
The MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin WordPress plugin before 3.7.50 does not validate one of its display-style settings before using it to build a template path, allowing users with the Contributor role and above to include and execute arbitrary local PHP files on the server. An equivalent path was corrected in an earlier release and this one was not, so the issue persists in versions the earlier advisory reports as fixed.
A local file inclusion vulnerability has been identified in the MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin, affecting versions prior to 3.7.50. The issue arises because the plugin fails to properly validate a display-style setting before using it to construct a template path. This flaw allows users with Contributor roles and above to include and execute arbitrary local PHP files on the server. Notably, a similar path was fixed in a previous release, but this one remains unaddressed in versions that were earlier reported as patched.
Users are advised to update the MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin to version 3.7.50 or later.
