Moodle places a session key in a URL

repository/alfresco/lib.php in Moodle through 2.3.11, 2.4.x before 2.4.9, 2.5.x before 2.5.5, and 2.6.x before 2.6.2 places a session key in a URL, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended Alfresco Repository file restrictions by impersonating a file's owner.
