Moodle < 2.4.11, 2.5.x < 2.5.9, 2.6.x < 2.6.6, 2.7.x < 2.7.3 - Authenticated Access Control Bypass via Tag Autocomplete

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

tag/tag_autocomplete.php in Moodle through 2.4.11, 2.5.x before 2.5.9, 2.6.x before 2.6.6, and 2.7.x before 2.7.3 does not consider the moodle/tag:edit capability before adding a tag, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions via an AJAX request.
