CVE-2011-1406
Mahara before 1.3.6 does not properly handle an https URL in the wwwroot configuration setting, which makes it easier for user-assisted remote attackers to obtain credentials by sniffing the network at a time when an http URL is used for a login.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.73%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
