CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Tutor LMS plugin for WordPress prior to version 4.0.6 is vulnerable due to inadequate validation of stored file paths, enabling users with instructor roles to access arbitrary server files, including sensitive configuration files. This exposure can lead to compromised database credentials and the potential for authentication cookie forgery. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize updating to the latest version to mitigate these risks.
Original NVD Description
The Tutor LMS WordPress plugin before 4.0.6 does not validate a stored file path before using it to stream media, allowing users with the instructor role to read arbitrary files on the server, including files outside the web root. The readable files include the WordPress configuration file, which exposes the database credentials and the authentication keys and salts, so authentication cookies can be forged.
