Description

The Academy LMS – eLearning and online course solution for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to and including 1.9.19.

This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with minimal permissions such as students to elevate their user role to that of an administrator.
