CVE-2020-7916 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting the LearnPress plugin (versions 3.2.6.5 and earlier) for WordPress. It allows any registered user to elevate their privileges to an instructor/teacher role without proper authorization checks, simply by sending a request to a specific admin-ajax.php URI. This unauthorized role change grants access to restricted data, posing a significant confidentiality risk. While the vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.5, indicating a medium risk, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
