Security readout for executives and security teams

This Moodle flaw let someone with glossary-entry deletion permission delete entries in other glossaries they were not meant to access. The business impact is unauthorized content deletion, not data theft or full system compromise. The issue is medium severity with low integrity impact. Exposure is limited to Moodle deployments older than 3.7.1, 3.6.5, or 3.5.7 where glossary functionality and deletion permissions are in use. Impact is most relevant for courses or sites relying on glossary integrity. Treat this as a moderate-priority content integrity issue. It is unlikely to justify emergency response by itself, but unpatched Moodle sites with active glossary use should be updated in the normal vulnerability remediation cycle. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Moodle to 3.7.1, 3.6.5, 3.5.7, or later supported releases.; Review roles with glossary entry deletion permissions.; Restrict glossary deletion permissions to trusted users only..

Improper Access Control

Improper Access Control represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
