Mahara 15.04 before 15.04.7 and 15.10 before 15.10.3 running PHP 5.3 are vulnerable to one user being logged in as another user on a separate computer as the same session ID is served. This situation can occur when a user takes an action that forces another user to be logged out of Mahara, such as an admin changing another user's account settings.

An issue was discovered in Mahara before 15.04.14, 16.x before 16.04.8, 16.10.x before 16.10.5, and 17.x before 17.04.3. When one closes the browser without logging out of Mahara, the value in the usr_session table is not removed. If someone were to open a browser, visit the Mahara site, and adjust the 'mahara' cookie to the old value, they can get access to the user's account.
