{"cve":"CVE-2026-53635","nvd":{"published":"2026-09-02T17:17:45.770","modified":"2026-09-09T21:04:42.813","status":"Deferred","description":"Open edX Platform enables the authoring and delivery of online learning at any scale. Prior to commit 59bb6d6, the view function set_course_mode_price() at lms/djangoapps/instructor/views/instructor_dashboard.py:430 is decorated only with @login_required and performs no course-level permission check. Any authenticated user — including a learner account with zero course roles — can issue a single POST request to overwrite the honor mode price and currency of any course on the platform. The companion frontend modal was removed in a prior cleanup, but the URL route and view remain live, making this an unguarded orphan endpoint. This issue has been patched via commit 59bb6d6.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L","score":7.6},"cwes":["CWE-862"],"references":["https://github.com/openedx/openedx-platform/commit/59bb6d669e4fdc24d96afb809e12119372d9e257","https://github.com/openedx/openedx-platform/commit/f25bbc4d52bd827c8f04c73de427e2e16a144c73","https://github.com/openedx/openedx-platform/commit/fd93ef5f9940f4ad6f50cf7faecad8d9cf2d3336","https://github.com/openedx/openedx-platform/security/advisories/GHSA-rqq6-w4pv-7pjv","https://github.com/openedx/openedx-platform/security/advisories/GHSA-rqq6-w4pv-7pjv"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:50:50.842544443+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-53635","score":0.00397,"percentile":0.33969,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
