CVE-2026-111603
PlayEdu through 2.3 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the CourseController that allows authenticated students to access department-restricted courses by omitting the department visibility check.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.32%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
