Summary

CVE-2024-10400 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Themeum Tutor Lms. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).

Operationally, ranked in the top 0.2% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Deeper analysis

The Tutor LMS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ‘rating_filter’ parameter in all versions up to and including 2.7.6. The flaw stems from insufficient escaping of user-supplied input combined with the absence of prepared statements on an existing SQL query, allowing arbitrary SQL to be appended.

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit the issue over the network by supplying a crafted rating_filter value. Successful exploitation permits extraction of sensitive information from the database, consistent with the CVSS 7.5 rating that reflects no required authentication or user interaction and high confidentiality impact.

A fix is available in the referenced WordPress plugin changeset, and the Wordfence advisory provides additional technical detail on the vulnerability. The associated EPSS score remains elevated near 0.93 with negligible movement between its current and peak values.
