CVE-2026-118054 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 6.4 (medium) and affects LearnPress – Course Review; no fixed version is listed yet.

## Summary

LearnPress, a WordPress course review plugin, is affected through its review title field, letting a logged-in user with at least subscriber-level access inject script that runs in a browser when someone views the affected page. The attack can be carried out remotely over the network, and the injected script runs only after an administrator approves the review, unless the site auto-approves previously approved comments.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- thimpress LearnPress – Course Review: through 4.2.2

## Description

The LearnPress – Course Review plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting via the 'review_title (inside `data.args.review_title`)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.2.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The injected payload only executes after an administrator approves the submitted review, though sites with comment_previously_approved auto-approval configured may bypass manual moderation.
