The LearnPress plugin for WordPress suffers from an Insecure Direct Object Reference vulnerability that impacts all versions up to and including 4.2.5.7. This issue is found in the /wp-json/lp/v1/profile/course-tab REST API, where the absence of proper validation on the 'userID' parameter allows authenticated users with subscriber-level access and above to exploit the vulnerability.
