What is CVE-2026-85572?
The Tutor LMS WordPress plugin, prior to version 4.0.8, contains a vulnerability that allows authenticated users to access lesson discussion content from courses they are not enrolled in. This loophole enables users, including those with subscriber-level access, to read comments—including those awaiting moderation—from any course, potentially compromising the privacy of the discussions and comments associated with that course.

Tutor LMS 4.0.0 < 4.0.8
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
