Technical details

The Academy LMS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) via the 'save_lesson_note', 'get_lesson_note', and 'complete_lesson_video' AJAX handlers. The vulnerability stems from missing validation on user-controlled keys, specifically CWE-639. Authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level permissions or higher can exploit this to read, overwrite, or delete private lesson notes belonging to any other user, including administrators. Furthermore, attackers can falsify lesson-completion progress for arbitrary users. The issue is present in all versions up to and including 3.8.0; a patch is available in subsequent versions.
