Separate Groups mode restrictions were not honoured in the forum summary report, which would display users from other groups.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Separate Groups mode restrictions were not honoured in the forum summary report, which would display users     from other groups. (CVE-2023-5551)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

According to its self-reported version, the Moodle install hosted on the remote host is prior to 3.9.24 / 3.11.x prior to 3.11.17 / 4.0.x prior to 4.0.11 / 4.1.x prior to 4.1.6 / 4.2.x prior to 4.2.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- Students could see other students in "Only see own membership" groups

- XSS risk when using CSV grade import method

- Authenticated remote code execution risk in IMSCP

- Authenticated remote code execution risk in Lesson
