Summary
Frappe LMS before 2.54.2 has a missing authorization flaw (CWE-862). Unpublished certificate records are not limited to their owner and authorized staff, so they can be retrieved and viewed by other users. A remote user with low privileges can expose certificate details of other users, but cannot modify data or gain elevated privileges. Access to published certificates by identifier is intentional and is not affected.

Description from the CNA
Frappe Learning Management System (LMS) is a learning system that helps users structure their content. Prior to version 2.54.2, unpublished certificate records can be retrieved and viewed by users who should not have access, rather than being limited to the certificate owner and authorized staff. This can expose certificate details belonging to other users. Access to published certificates by their identifier is intentional for third-party verification and is not affected. The issue does not allow modifying data or gaining elevated privileges. This issue is fixed in version 2.54.2.
