  - CVE-2018-11195: Mahara is vulnerable to the browser 'back and refresh' attack. This allows
  malicious users with physical access to the web browser of a Mahara user, after they have logged
  in, to potentially gain access to their Mahara credentials.

  - CVE-2018-11196: Mahara can be used as medium to transmit viruses by placing infected files into
  a Leap2A archive and uploading that to Mahara. In contrast to other ZIP files that are uploaded,
  ClamAV (when activated) does not check Leap2A archives for viruses, allowing malicious files to
  be available for download. While files cannot be executed on Mahara itself, Mahara can be used to
  transfer such files to user computers.");
