An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-5973 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin. 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-2024-5973/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-5973/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-5973","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-5973/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-5973","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-264v-69hm-998m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress LMS plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Students can escalate privileges to instructor role, gaining unauthorized access to restricted functionalities in MasterStudy LMS.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"masterstudy_lms","vendor":"stylemixthemes"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin  WordPress plugin before 3.3.24 does not prevent students from creating instructor accounts, which could be used to get access to functionalities they shouldn't have.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"MasterStudy LMS \u003c 3.3.24 - Privilege Escalation to Instructor","id":"CVE-2024-5973","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Firebox Authenticated Buffer Overflow Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-5974"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"CVE ID issued in error.","id":"CVE-2024-5972"},"products":["MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin"],"published":"2024-07-22","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"MasterStudy LMS \u003c= 3.3.3 - Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion via template","id":"CVE-2024-3136","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"MasterStudy LMS \u003c= 3.3.1 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via stm_lms_register AJAX Action","id":"CVE-2024-2409","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"MasterStudy LMS \u003c= 3.3.0 - Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion via modal","id":"CVE-2024-2411","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin – for Online Courses and Education \u003c= 3.2.5 - Unauthenticated SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2024-1512","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-17"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"MasterStudy LMS \u003c 2.7.6 - Unauthenticated Admin Account Creation","id":"CVE-2022-0441","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-07"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"WordPress MasterStudy LMS plugin \u003c= 3.2.12 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-37094","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-01"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-08-27","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Students can escalate privileges to instructor role, gaining unauthorized access to restricted functionalities in MasterStudy LMS.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-5973/"}
