CVE-2009-1171
The TeX filter in Moodle 1.6 before 1.6.9+, 1.7 before 1.7.7+, 1.8 before 1.8.9, and 1.9 before 1.9.5 allows user-assisted attackers to read arbitrary files via an input command in a "$$" sequence, which causes LaTeX to include the contents of the file.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (6.24%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
