Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Moodle access-control flaw in the Glossary module. Affected sites could let someone read Glossary entries they should not be allowed to see. The sources identify fixed Moodle releases, but do not provide a CVSS score, exploit method, or evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Moodle 1.8.x or 1.9.x deployments with the Glossary module available. Current unsupported, forgotten, or internally hosted learning portals are the main concern. Prioritize remediation if any legacy Moodle 1.8 or 1.9 site remains in use, especially if it hosts private course content. This is not KEV-listed, but unsupported learning platforms often carry accumulated risk. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Moodle 1.8 deployments to 1.8.11 or later supported migration paths.; Upgrade Moodle 1.9 deployments to 1.9.7 or later supported migration paths.; Review Moodle and distribution vendor advisories for package-specific updates..
