CVE-2024-6099:
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
The LearnPress WordPress LMS Plugin (versions up to 4.2.6.8.1) contains a vulnerability that allows unauthenticated bypass to user registration. This security issue was discovered and reported in July 2024, affecting the WordPress learning management system plugin. The vulnerability stems from missing checks in the 'checkvalidatefields' function in the checkout process (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.3 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N. The security flaw exists in the checkout validation process, specifically in the 'checkvalidatefields' function, which lacks proper security checks (Wordfence).
Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to register as the default role on the site, even when registration is disabled. This bypass of intended registration restrictions could potentially lead to unauthorized access to the WordPress site (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
The vulnerability has been patched in version 4.2.6.8.2. Site administrators are strongly advised to update their LearnPress plugin to this version or later to address the security issue (WordPress Plugin).
