CVE-2024-8529 is an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin for WordPress. The flaw affects the /wp-json/lp/v1/courses/archive-course REST API endpoint in all versions up to and including 4.2.7. Specifically, the 'c_fields' parameter is not sufficiently escaped, and the backend SQL query is not properly prepared before incorporating attacker-controlled input. As a result, an attacker can append arbitrary SQL fragments to an existing query. The available information indicates this can be exploited remotely without authentication to manipulate database queries and extract sensitive information from the underlying WordPress database.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary scanner module targeting unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-8522 and CVE-2024-8529) in the WordPress LearnPress plugin up to version 4.2.7. The module exploits time-based blind SQL injection via the 'c_only_fields' and 'c_fields' parameters on two REST API endpoints: '/learnpress/v1/courses' and '/wp-json/lp/v1/courses/archive-course'. The exploit does not require authentication and, if successful, extracts user credentials from the WordPress database. The code is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HTTP and SQLi libraries. The repository is operational and suitable for confirming and exploiting the vulnerabilities in a controlled environment.
