Updated

A security vulnerability was discovered in Moodle that allows students to enroll themselves in courses without completing all the necessary safety checks. Specifically, users can sign up for courses prematurely, even if they haven't finished two-step verification processes.

Other sources

On sites with Multi-Factor Authentication enabled, it was possible to use course self enrollment after passing only the first login factor (such as passing a username/password check). The user should also have to pass a second login factor before gaining access to self enrollment.

Versions affected: 4.5 to 4.5.3, 4.4 to 4.4.7 and 4.3 to 4.3.11 Versions fixed: 4.5.4, 4.4.8 and 4.3.12
