Deeper analysis
The Tutor LMS eLearning and online course plugin for WordPress is affected by a time-based SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in all versions through 2.6.1. The flaw resides in the handling of the question_id parameter, where insufficient escaping of user input and inadequate parameterization of an existing SQL query allow additional clauses to be appended.
Authenticated attackers holding subscriber, student, or higher privileges can exploit the issue over the network to extract sensitive database contents. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability under an attack that requires no user interaction.
Public references point to a corrective changeset on the WordPress plugin Trac that updates the affected code in classes/Utils.php, indicating an official patch has been issued for versions beyond 2.6.1. The associated EPSS score has remained flat at 0.3525 with no material increase observed after disclosure.
