Descriptions

The Tutor LMS WordPress plugin before 2.0.10 does not sanitise and escape the reset_key and user_id parameters before outputting then back in attributes, leading to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against high privilege users such as admin

The Tutor LMS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'reset_key' and 'user_id' parameters (used by the password retrieval form) in versions up to, and including, 2.0.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
