NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream moodle package and not the moodle package as distributed by Ubuntu.
The web services implementation in Moodle 2.0.x before 2.0.6 and 2.1.x before 2.1.3 does not properly consider the maintenance-mode state and account attributes during login attempts, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions by connecting to a webservice server.
