{"cve":"CVE-2026-75982","nvd":{"published":"2026-08-25T03:16:57.063","modified":"2026-10-12T15:10:00.207","status":"Deferred","description":"The LearnPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of arbitrary WordPress options in versions up to, and including, 4.4.4 via the learnpress_create_page AJAX action. The LP_Admin_Ajax::create_page() handler only checks the edit_pages capability and a wp_rest nonce (both available to Editors), then reads the field_name parameter from the request without restricting it to a learn_press_* allow-list before passing it as the option key to LP_Helper::create_page(), which calls update_option($key_option, $page_id). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Editor-level access and above, to update arbitrary WordPress options to a positive integer (a newly created page ID), enabling actions such as flipping users_can_register to a truthy value to open public registration, corrupting active_plugins to break the site, or otherwise tampering with site-wide settings normally reserved for administrators.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","score":4.4},"cwes":["CWE-862"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/learnpress/trunk/inc/admin/class-lp-admin-ajax.php#L45","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/learnpress/trunk/inc/admin/class-lp-admin-ajax.php#L649","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/learnpress/trunk/inc/class-lp-helper.php#L264","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3659902%40learnpress&new=3659902%40learnpress","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/2f8b8bfe-8d73-4289-b212-7baf7bceaaf6?source=cve"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:50:17.453294893+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-75982","score":0.00376,"percentile":0.31318,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
