What is known
The LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to bypass to user registration in versions up to, and including, 4.2.6.5. This is due to missing checks in the 'create_account' function in the checkout. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register as the default role on the site, even if registration is disabled.
Business impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2024-4444, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 5.3) affecting learnpress, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
