Descriptions

The generate_password function 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 provide a sufficient number of possible temporary passwords, which allows remote attackers to obtain access via a brute-force attack.

La función generate_password en Moodle hasta 2.4.11, 2.5.x anterior a 2.5.9, 2.6.x anterior a 2.6.6, y 2.7.x anterior a 2.7.3 no proporciona un número suficiente de contraseñas temporales posibles, lo que permite a atacantes remotos obtener el acceso a través de un ataque de fuerza bruta.
