Technical details
The vulnerability exists in the `select2_query_posts` AJAX handler within the LifterLMS plugin. The handler only verifies that a user is logged in and provides a valid AJAX nonce (which is available to all logged-in users on the front-end) but fails to implement a `current_user_can()` capability check. By sending a crafted POST request to `admin-ajax.php` with a specific `post_type` parameter (e.g., `llms_coupon`, `llms_voucher`, or `llms_order`), an authenticated attacker with Subscriber-level privileges can retrieve the titles of these internal post types. This results in the disclosure of sensitive strings like discount codes. The issue is fixed in version 10.0.10.
