Unauthenticated lesson disclosure via unchecked REST requests
Published Jul 4, 2023 · Updated Nov 21, 2024
Authorization bypass in Themeum Tutor LMS before 2.2.1 allows remote attackers to read restricted lesson data through the REST API. The lesson route uses a caller-supplied topic identifier to query every child lesson and returns titles, content, attachments, thumbnails, and video metadata without authenticating the request. The disclosure is exposed when course visibility requires login, allowing unauthenticated requests to retrieve otherwise restricted lesson resources.
