CWE-285  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade moodle/moodle to version 4.1.9, 4.2.6, 4.3.3 or higher.

Overview

moodle/moodle is a learning platform.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authorization Bypass due to the handling of Separate Groups mode restrictions in the H5P attempts report, which improperly displays users from other groups. By default, this only provided additional access to non-editing teachers.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the Moodle site has been configured to use separate groups mode and the attacker has the role of a non-editing teacher.
