Technical details
The Tutor LMS Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to missing authorization due to a lack of capability checks on the `activate_tutor_free()` and `activate_elementor_free()` functions. These functions are registered as `admin_action_*` handlers, which can be triggered by authenticated users. An attacker with Subscriber-level access or higher can exploit this to programmatically activate the Tutor LMS and Elementor plugins. The vulnerability is present in all versions up to and including 4.0.0. A fix is expected in versions following 4.0.0 based on the provided changeset references.
