Description Jan Lieskovsky 2013-01-23 15:00:51 UTC 
A security flaw was found in the way Moodle, a course management system, performed capability checks in certain situations. Users without appropriate capability were able to set a custom outcome they had created as a standard site-wide capability when editing that outcome.
