CVE-2024-12596
The LifterLMS – WP LMS for eLearning, Online Courses, & Quizzes plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary post deletion due to a missing capability check on the 'llms_delete_cert' action in all versions up to, and including, 7.8.5.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.33%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
