  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.
