Summary
Moodle Temporary Passwords are Brute Force-able
Details

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.
