CVE-2025-14798
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 · uneditedThe LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in versions up to, and including, 4.3.2.4 via the get_item_permissions_check function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data including user first names and last names. Other information such as social profile links and enrollment are also included.
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 · moderate confidenceThe LearnPress WordPress LMS plugin versions up to 4.3.2.4 expose sensitive user data through the get_item_permissions_check function, allowing unauthenticated attackers to retrieve user first/last names, social profile links, and enrollment information without authentication.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm LearnPress plugin is installedCheck the WordPress plugins directory for the learnpress folder in wp-content/plugins, or view installed plugins in WordPress admin under PluginsAffected if LearnPress plugin is present in the WordPress installation
-
Identify installed LearnPress versionOpen the main plugin file (typically learnpress/lp.php) and locate the Version header, or check the Plugins page in WordPress adminAffected if Version is 4.3.2.4 or lower
-
Verify the LP REST API is activeMake a GET request to /wp-json/lp/v1/courses (no authentication) and check for a valid JSON responseAffected if The LP REST API endpoint responds without requiring authentication
-
Test for user data exposureSend a request to the affected endpoint (such as /wp-json/lp/v1/courses/{course_id}/enroll or related user enrollment endpoints) without authentication credentialsAffected if The response includes sensitive user data such as first/last names, social profile links, or enrollment information without being authenticated
The environment is affected if LearnPress version 4.3.2.4 or lower is installed AND the LP REST API endpoints are accessible without authentication, exposing user enrollment data.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpdate LearnPress to the latest patched version immediately. If immediate update is not feasible, implement web application firewall rules or access controls to restrict unauthenticated access to the affected API endpoint.
