Tutor LMS <= 2.6.2 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Limited Options Update
The Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the hide_notices function in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to enable user registration on sites that may have it disabled.
