What is CVE-2026-104050?
The Academy LMS WordPress plugin prior to version 4.0.0 exposes a flaw where it fails to confirm whether a quiz question is associated with the course that a requesting user is allowed to access. This oversight allows any authenticated user, such as an enrolled student, to retrieve answers for quiz questions linked to courses they are not registered in. This could lead to potential information leaks and compromise the integrity of the quiz assessments.
Affected Version(s)
Academy LMS 0 < 4.0.0
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
