backup/moodle2/restore_stepslib.php in Moodle 2.0.x before 2.0.6 and 2.1.x before 2.1.3 does not check for the moodle/course:changeidnumber privilege during handling of course ID numbers, which allows remote authenticated users to overwrite ID numbers via a restore action.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Moodle 2.0 and 2.1 releases let an authenticated user performing a course restore overwrite course ID numbers without the specific permission normally required. This is primarily an integrity and administration risk: course identifiers may be changed unexpectedly, which can affect reporting, integrations, and course management. Exposure is limited to legacy Moodle 2.0.x before 2.0.6 and 2.1.x before 2.1.3, especially where authenticated users can perform course restore actions. Current exposure depends on whether those obsolete versions or inherited forks remain deployed. Prioritize remediation if any legacy Moodle 2.0 or 2.1 system remains in production. The risk is not described as actively exploited, but unauthorized course identifier changes can disrupt operations, reporting, and integrations. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Moodle 2.0.x to 2.0.6 or later, if still supported internally.; Upgrade Moodle 2.1.x to 2.1.3 or later, if still supported internally.; Restrict course restore privileges to trusted administrators until remediation is confirmed..
