- CVE-2021-40691 / MSA-21-0032: A session hijack risk was identified in the Shibboleth

Note: Shibboleth authentication is disabled by default in Moodle.
- CVE-2021-40692 / MSA-21-0033: Insufficient capability checks made it possible for teachers to
download users outside of their courses.
- CVE-2021-40693 / MSA-21-0034: An authentication bypass risk was identified in the external
database authentication functionality, due to a type juggling vulnerability.
- CVE-2021-40694 / MSA-21-0035: Insufficient escaping of the LaTeX preamble made it possible for
site administrators to read files available to the HTTP server system account.
- CVE-2021-40695 / MSA-21-0036: It was possible for a student to view their quiz grade before it
had been released, using a quiz web service.");
