Description
The LearnPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the JWT REST API endpoints for courses, lessons, quizzes, sections and section items, and via the quiz REST endpoints, in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.10. This is due to these endpoints not enforcing WordPress post password protection: read permission checks never call post_password_required(), and course content is returned through apply_filters('the_content') on the raw post content. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the description, curriculum and preview or no-enrollment item content (including quiz questions) of password-protected courses and course items without knowing the password.
