CVE-2020-25698
Users' enrollment capabilities were not being sufficiently checked in Moodle when they are restored into an existing course.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.92%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
