Descriptions

The Sensei LMS WordPress plugin before 4.5.2 does not ensure that the sender of a private message is either the teacher or the original sender, allowing any authenticated user to send messages to arbitrary private conversation via a IDOR attack. Note: Attackers are not able to see responses/messages between the teacher and student

El plugin Sensei LMS de WordPress versiones anteriores a 4.5.2, no asegura que el remitente de un mensaje privado sea el profesor o el remitente original, permitiendo que cualquier usuario autenticado envíe mensajes a una conversación privada arbitraria por medio de un ataque IDOR. Nota: Los atacantes no pueden visualizar las respuestas/mensajes entre el profesor y el alumno

The Sensei LMS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to, and including, 4.5.1. This is because the plugin does not properly authenticate individuals before they send emails through the system. This makes it possible for attackers to send emails to arbitrary users and impersonate other individuals.
