CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Open edX Platform is vulnerable due to a lack of course-level permission checks in the set_course_mode_price() function, allowing any authenticated user, including those with no course roles, to modify the honor mode price and currency of any course through a single POST request. This poses a significant risk of unauthorized financial manipulation within the platform. Organizations using Open edX should prioritize addressing this vulnerability to prevent potential exploitation by malicious users.

Original NVD Description
Open edX Platform enables the authoring and delivery of online learning at any scale. Prior to commit 59bb6d6, the view function set_course_mode_price() at lms/djangoapps/instructor/views/instructor_dashboard.py:430 is decorated only with @login_required and performs no course-level permission check. Any authenticated user — including a learner account with zero course roles — can issue a single POST request to overwrite the honor mode price and currency of any course on the platform. The companion frontend modal was removed in a prior cleanup, but the URL route and view remain live, making this an unguarded orphan endpoint. This issue has been patched via commit 59bb6d6.
