CVE-2015-2267
mdeploy.php in Moodle through 2.5.9, 2.6.x before 2.6.9, 2.7.x before 2.7.6, and 2.8.x before 2.8.4 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions and extract archives to arbitrary directories via a crafted dataroot value.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.61%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
