Description
if I go to "Site administration>Plugins>Install plugins" and upload a zip with a lower version than installed plugin, it will not check it
However moodle actually detects the version from the zip and displays it on the confirmation screen, it just does not compare it with the installed one
To test: donwload these two archives
https://github.com/moodlehq/moodle-local_codechecker/archive/master.zip
https://github.com/moodlehq/moodle-local_codechecker/archive/v2.9.2.zip
Install the first one
Try to install the second one (it has lower version) - there will be no validation and the newer code will be overridden. Since this is a zip install there is no "undo"
