CVE-2026-107744 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-17

LearnPress is a WordPress plugin for creating and managing online learning courses. The plugin fails to properly verify user permissions when searching for users, allowing any authenticated subscriber to enumerate all user accounts on the site and extract email addresses through a character-by-character brute-force attack. An attacker can discover administrator accounts and their email addresses, potentially enabling follow-up attacks like targeted phishing or account compromise.

## Technical details

The vulnerability is an authorization bypass in the user search functionality where insufficient permission checks allow authenticated users with subscriber-level access to query the user_login and user_email database columns. An attacker can abuse search response differences as an oracle to extract sensitive information character-by-character. This requires network access and valid WordPress authentication credentials, but no additional user interaction beyond API calls.
