CVE-2026-8279
The Masteriyo LMS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized data deletion due to a missing capability check on the 'delete_item_permissions_check' function in the CourseProgressItemsController in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.0.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.24%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
