Separate Groups mode restrictions were not honoured in the forum summary report, which would display users from other groups.

According to its self-reported version, the Moodle install hosted on the remote host is prior to 3.9.24 / 3.11.x prior to 3.11.17 / 4.0.x prior to 4.0.11 / 4.1.x prior to 4.1.6 / 4.2.x prior to 4.2.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- Forum summary report shows students from other groups when in Separate Groups mode

- RCE due to LFI risk in some misconfigured shared hosting environments

- Insufficient capability checks when updating the parent of a course category

- Make file serving endpoints revision control stricter

- XSS risk when previewing data in course upload tool

- Auto-populated H5P author name causes a potential information leak

- Stored XSS and potential IDOR risk in Wiki comments

- Students could see other students in "Only see own membership" groups

- XSS risk when using CSV grade import method

- Authenticated remote code execution risk in IMSCP

- Authenticated remote code execution risk in Lesson

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
