CVE-2020-6009 describes an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the LearnDash WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 3.1.6. This flaw carries a critical CVSS score of 9.8, indicating a severe risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and potential for complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While there is no evidence of active exploitation (KEV list), public exploit code is not readily available (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and community discussion and media coverage are relatively low, though a BleepingComputer article highlighted its potential for students to cheat.
