Technical details
The LearnPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'skin' attribute within the 'learn_press_courses' shortcode. The vulnerability exists because the attribute value is passed directly into an sprintf() function to generate HTML class and data-layout attributes without being processed by esc_attr(). An authenticated attacker with Contributor-level privileges or higher can exploit this to inject malicious JavaScript. The payload is stored in the database and executes in the context of any user viewing the page. A patch was introduced in version 4.3.3 (or subsequent changeset 3494377).
Affected products
- ThimPress LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin up to and including 4.3.3
