Technical Summary

The Tutor LMS Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.0 This is due to missing capability checks on the `activate_tutor_free()` and `activate_elementor_free()` functions registered as `admin_action_*` handlers. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to activate the Tutor LMS and Elementor plugins without proper authorization.

Potential Impact

Severity is MEDIUM (CVSS 4.3). Depending on deployment context, affected components may be exposed to unauthorized actions or data integrity risk.

Exploitability Assessment

Exploitability is assessed as High based on remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites.

Primary risk drivers: remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites

Mitigation Recommendations

Validate affected product versions, prioritize patching, and monitor references for vendor remediation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, apply compensating controls and limit exposure of vulnerable surfaces.

Detection & Monitoring

Track authentication anomalies, unexpected file writes, and suspicious plugin API activity around affected components.

Business Impact Lens

AI risk score 52/100 (Moderate, High) with priority P4 Planned. Prioritize remediation where affected components process customer data, admin sessions, or Internet-exposed workflows.
