CVE-2026-9341
Academy LMS <= 3.8.0 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Insecure Direct Object Reference via 'user_id' Parameter
The Academy LMS – WordPress LMS Plugin for Complete eLearning Solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.0 via the 'save_lesson_note', 'get_lesson_note', and 'complete_lesson_video' AJAX handlers due to missing validation on a user controlled key.
