An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-35686 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Automattic Sensei LMS. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-35686/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-35686/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-35686","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-35686/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-35686","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9m8g-pqxr-x264"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress LMS plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass authorization checks in Sensei LMS to access restricted functionality without proper permissions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Missing Authorization vulnerability in Automattic Sensei LMS, Automattic Sensei Pro (WC Paid Courses).This issue affects Sensei LMS: from n/a through 4.23.1; Sensei Pro (WC Paid Courses): from n/a through 4.23.1.1.23.1.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Sensei LMS plugin \u003c= 4.23.1 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-35686","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Link Library plugin \u003c= 7.6.3 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-35687"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Radcliffe 2 theme \u003c= 2.0.17 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-35685"},"products":["Sensei LMS","Sensei Pro (WC Paid Courses)"],"published":"2024-08-18","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["Automattic"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass authorization checks in Sensei LMS to access restricted functionality without proper permissions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-35686/"}
