The WP Learn Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.8. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to install and activate arbitrary plugins from the WordPress.org repository on the vulnerable site.
