- A vulnerable version of the PHPMailer library included in Moodle.

- A vulnerable version of the CKEditor component included in the h5p-editor-php-library in Moodle.

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

  - Insufficient capability checks could allow users with the moodle/site:uploadusers capability to delete
    users, without having the necessary moodle/user:delete capability. (CVE-2022-0985)
