Summary
CVE-2024-7786 is a medium-severity an unspecified weakness vulnerability in Automattic Sensei Lms. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).
Operationally, ranked in the top 1.3% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis
The vulnerability is an improper access control issue affecting the Sensei LMS WordPress plugin prior to version 4.24.2. Certain REST API routes are insufficiently protected, which permits leakage of email templates.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit the flaw remotely over the network with low attack complexity and no required privileges or user interaction. Successful exploitation yields limited confidentiality impact by disclosing email template contents while leaving integrity and availability unaffected.
The referenced WPScan advisory and the affected plugin's versioning indicate that updating to Sensei LMS 4.24.2 or later closes the exposed routes. The associated EPSS score has remained flat at 0.7048 with no material post-disclosure rise.
