Summary
ATutor generates predictable email confirmation tokens due to the use of insufficiently random values in the account confirmation functionality. Due to the use of predictable values related to user registration, an attacker who knows or can predict these values can guess valid account activation tokens. This allows an attacker to activate an unconfirmed account without access to the victim's email inbox. Product is no longer actively supported and the vulnerabilities have not been fixed. Only version 2.2.4 was tested and confirmed as vulnerable, other versions were not tested but might also be vulnerable.
