Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The Tutor LMS – Migration Tool plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the tutor_lp_export_xml function in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to export courses, including private and password protected courses.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The Tutor LMS – Migration Tool WordPress plugin has a missing capability check on the tutor_lp_export_xml function, allowing unauthenticated users to export all course data including private and password-protected courses. This is a classic IDOR/authorization bypass vulnerability where an API endpoint or function lacks proper access control.

MitigationUpdate to version 2.2.1 or later which includes the capability check. If immediate update is not possible, consider disabling the Migration Tool plugin or restricting access via web server configuration.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify the Migration Tool plugin is installed
    Check your WordPress installation under wp-content/plugins/ for a folder named 'tutor-lms-migration-tool' or 'tutor-lms-migration', or view installed plugins in WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins
    Affected if The plugin folder or listing is present in your WordPress environment
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    Open the main plugin file (usually named index.php or tutor-lms-migration-tool.php) and locate the 'Version:' field in the plugin header comments at the top of the file, or check the version column in WordPress admin Plugins list
    Affected if The version number displayed is 2.2.2 or lower
  3. Compare version against affected range
    The vulnerability affects versions <= 2.2.2. If your version is 2.2.2, 2.2.1, 2.2.0, or any lower version number, the missing capability check vulnerability is present
    Affected if The installed version is 2.2.2 or any version lower than 2.2.2, indicating the patch has not been applied
  4. Confirm the vulnerable function exists
    Locate the file containing the tutor_lp_export_xml function within the plugin directory (typically in includes/ or classes/ folder). The vulnerability exists when this function lacks a current_user_can() or similar capability check before executing
    Affected if The tutor_lp_export_xml function is found and does not contain a capability verification check at its beginning
  5. Test unauthenticated access to export function
    Send a crafted request to the endpoint that triggers tutor_lp_export_xml (often via wp-admin/admin-ajax.php or a dedicated API route) without providing authentication credentials. A successful response containing course data indicates the vulnerability is exploitable
    Affected if Unauthenticated (not logged in) requests successfully return exported course data including private or password-protected courses

Your environment is affected if the Tutor LMS Migration Tool plugin is installed with version 2.2.2 or lower and the tutor_lp_export_xml function lacks a capability check, allowing any visitor to export sensitive course data without authentication.
