Overview

moodle/moodle is a learning platform.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control. If the upload course tool in Moodle was used to delete an enrollment method which did not exist or was not already enabled, the tool would erroneously enable that enrollment method. This could lead to unintended users gaining access to the course.
