CVE-2017-1000154
Mahara 15.04 before 15.04.8 and 15.10 before 15.10.4 and 16.04 before 16.04.2 are vulnerable to some authentication methods, which do not use Mahara's built-in login form, still allowing users to log in even if their institution was expired or suspended.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.32%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
