CVE-2026-81339: MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin insecure direct object reference in quiz attempts

CVE-2026-81339 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-09-23

MasterStudy LMS is a WordPress plugin that provides learning management system functionality for online courses and quizzes. The plugin fails to verify that a user owns a quiz attempt before returning its results, allowing any logged-in student to view other students' quiz grades, pass/fail status, and attempt timestamps by simply guessing or iterating through attempt identifiers. This exposes sensitive academic performance data to unauthorized users.

Vendors: MasterStudy.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) in the quiz attempt results endpoint that lacks per-object ownership validation. An authenticated user with the subscriber role can enumerate quiz attempt IDs and retrieve another user's quiz attempt data including grades, pass/fail status, and attempt timestamps. No network-level attack vector is required beyond normal authenticated access to the WordPress site; the attacker needs only valid login credentials at the subscriber level or above.
