Does this affect you?

It affects Unknown Academy LMS. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

The Academy LMS WordPress plugin before 3.8.3 does not verify course enrollment or lesson publication status when returning a single lesson through its REST API, allowing users with a self-service student (Subscriber-level) account to disclose the content of arbitrary lessons, including lessons of paid courses they are not enrolled in and unpublished (draft, pending, private) lessons.
