## Description

Mahara before 1.5.13, 1.6.x before 1.6.8, and 1.7.x before 1.7.4 does not
properly restrict access to folders, which allows remote authenticated
users to read arbitrary folders (1) by leveraging an active folder tab
loaded before permissions were removed or (2) via the folder parameter to
artefact/file/groupfiles.php.
