The Tutor LMS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ‘rating_filter’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.6 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

regex: '"_tutor_nonce":"([a-z0-9]+)"'
- →Monitor POST requests to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php with action=load_filtered_instructor and a rating_filter parameter containing SQL injection patterns (e.g., 'Union select', '1e0+and', '--+-'). ↗
- →Detect presence of the Tutor LMS plugin by scanning for the path /wp-content/plugins/tutor/ in HTTP response bodies (used by Shodan and FOFA queries for asset discovery). ↗
- →A successful exploitation response will contain both the md5 hash of the injected numeric value and '"success":true' in the response body, confirming blind UNION-based SQL injection. ↗
- →The exploit first performs a GET to the base URL to extract the _tutor_nonce value via regex, then uses it in the subsequent injection POST — look for this two-step pattern in access logs. ↗
- ·The vulnerability affects all versions of Tutor LMS up to and including 2.7.6; version 2.7.7 or later contains the fix. ↗
- ·The attack is unauthenticated — no credentials or privileges are required to exploit this vulnerability, making it exploitable by any remote attacker. ↗
- ·EPSS score of 0.93153 (99.8th percentile) indicates extremely high likelihood of exploitation in the wild; prioritize patching accordingly. ↗
