Technical details

The CourseMaterialTemplate::render_material_items() callback in the public lp-ajax-handle endpoint performs authorization checks against an attacker-controlled course_id parameter but fetches material rows using a second, independently attacker-controlled item_id parameter with no validation that the item belongs to the authorized course. The endpoint is on the no-nonce allowlist and performs no capability checks, allowing any unauthenticated user to exploit the IDOR vulnerability. An attacker can extract course files and external URLs from any lesson regardless of enrollment status.
