- An information disclosure allowing students to see their quiz grade through the quiz web service before its release. (CVE-2021-32473)

- An SQL injection on MNet enabled sites via an XML RPC call from the connected peer host for site administrators or users having access to the keypair. (CVE-2021-32474)

- A stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability through the ID number displayed in the quiz grading report. (CVE-2021-32475)

- A Denial of Service (DoS) due to user file upload limits not being enforced in the draft files area. (CVE-2021-32476)

- An information disclosure exposing the last time a user accessed the mobile page on its profile page. (CVE-2021-32477)

- A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and open redirect lnerability through the redirect URI of the the LTI authorization endpoint. (CVE-2021-32478)

- A vulnerable H5P PHP version 1.24 embedded library.

Note that the scanner has not attempted to exploit this issue but has instead relied only on application's self-reported version number.
