Unlimited Course Resets Exploited by Students

A compliance training platform using Tutor LMS discovered students were resetting their course progress repeatedly to wipe failed attempt histories on their learning management system. Tutor LMS core lacked a configurable reset limit threshold.

  • Tutor LMS allowed unlimited course resets without restriction.
  • Students exploited resets to erase failed compliance attempt histories.
  • Need to enforce strict reset limits per course (e.g. max 2 resets).
  • Requirement to notify admins when reset limits were exceeded.

Technical Solution: Action Interception & Reset Counters

We intercepted the `tutor_before_course_reset` action hook as part of our LMS customization services. Our extension checks user metadata for total reset counts per course ID and blocks execution if the maximum allowance has been reached.

Configurable Reset Limit Rules

We provided a settings panel inside WP-admin where course managers can set global or per-course reset limits. When a student attempts a reset, the system checks their usage and conditionally allows or blocks the reset.
