CVE-2026-3225: LearnPress <= 4.3.2.8 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary Quiz Answer Deletion

The LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized deletion of quiz question answers due to a missing capability check in the delete_question_answer() function of the EditQuestionAjax 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, and the QuestionAnswerModel::delete() method only validates minimum answer counts without checking user capabilities. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete answer options from any quiz question on the site.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2026-3225 lets any logged-in WordPress user, even a Subscriber, delete answer options from LearnPress quiz questions. This can damage course assessments and learner trust, but the reported impact is limited to integrity of quiz content, not data theft or site takeover.

Executive priority

Treat as a near-term content integrity issue for any public or customer-facing LMS. Prioritize patching where quizzes support compliance, paid courses, certifications, or formal assessments.

Technical view

LearnPress through 4.3.2.8 lacks authorization checks around quiz answer deletion. The AJAX dispatcher verifies a REST nonce but does not enforce current_user_can(), and the answer deletion model does not validate user capability. CVSS is 4.3, requiring low-privileged authenticated access.

Likely exposure

WordPress sites running LearnPress LMS versions up to and including 4.3.2.8 are exposed if untrusted or broadly available user registration permits Subscriber-level accounts.

Exploitation context

No CISA KEV listing or provided source indicates active exploitation. Abuse requires authentication but no user interaction. The practical risk is unauthorized quiz manipulation, which can disrupt training, exams, and course quality.

Researcher notes

The weakness is CWE-862 missing authorization. Relevant code paths cited include EditQuestionAjax::delete_question_answer(), AbstractAjax::catch_lp_ajax(), and QuestionAnswerModel::delete(). Sources show a change from 4.3.2.8 to 4.3.3, but no exploit-in-the-wild evidence.

Mitigation direction

  • Update LearnPress to version 4.3.3 or later if available.
  • Restrict who can create accounts on affected WordPress sites.
  • Review Subscriber and learner accounts for unnecessary access.
  • Check vendor and Wordfence guidance for any additional remediation.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory WordPress sites using the LearnPress plugin.
  • Confirm installed LearnPress versions are above 4.3.2.8.
  • Review quiz question answers for unexpected deletions or changes.
  • Audit user registrations around suspected content changes.
