CVE-2025-22740Network attack vector

Unauthenticated lesson disclosure through unprotected feeds

Published Mar 27, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Missing authorization in Sensei LMS 4.24.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to read restricted lesson content through WordPress feeds. Feed rendering returns the lesson body without enforcing the access decision used for protected lesson pages. Exposure requires a reachable feed for a lesson that the requester cannot otherwise view, and the documented consequence is content disclosure only.
