Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-16563 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Academy 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-2026-16563/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16563/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16563","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16563/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16563","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9988-37r6-j7j6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Subscribers can access arbitrary lesson content, including paid and unpublished lessons, due to missing authorization checks in the REST API.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"The Academy LMS WordPress plugin before 3.8.3 does not verify course enrollment or lesson publication status when returning a single lesson through its REST API, allowing users with a self-service student (Subscriber-level) account to disclose the content of arbitrary lessons, including lessons of paid courses they are not enrolled in and unpublished (draft, pending, private) lessons.","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":"Academy LMS \u003c 3.8.3 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary Lesson Content Disclosure via lessons REST Endpoint","id":"CVE-2026-16563","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Dokan \u003c 5.0.9 - Vendor+ Arbitrary Order Status Modification via orders/bulk-actions REST Endpoint","id":"CVE-2026-16564"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WP Statistics \u003c 14.16.10 - Subscriber+ Sensitive Data Disclosure via Metabox AJAX Handlers","id":"CVE-2026-16562"},"products":["Academy LMS"],"published":"2026-08-03","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":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-03","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Subscribers can access arbitrary lesson content, including paid and unpublished lessons, due to missing authorization checks in the REST API.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16563/"}
