lib/db/access.php in Moodle 2.0.x before 2.0.4 and 2.1.x before 2.1.1 assigns incorrect capabilities to the course-creator role, which allows remote authenticated users to modify course filters by leveraging this role.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects old Moodle versions where the course-creator role received capabilities it should not have. A logged-in user with that role could change course filters, potentially altering how course content is processed or displayed. Evidence does not show unauthenticated access or active exploitation. Exposure is limited to legacy Moodle 2.0.x and 2.1.x deployments with users assigned the course-creator role. Organizations on maintained Moodle releases are unlikely to be affected based on the provided version ranges. Treat this as a targeted legacy-platform risk. Prioritize remediation if Moodle is still running in the affected ranges, especially where many staff or contractors hold course-creator privileges. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Moodle 2.0.x to 2.0.4 or later.; Upgrade Moodle 2.1.x to 2.1.1 or later.; Review course-creator role capabilities for unintended filter-management permissions..
