Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Moodle, where one can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks and the other has an unknown impact.

1) User input passed to the "reply" parameter in "forum/post.php" isn't sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site by tricking the user into visiting a malicious website or follow a specially crafted link.

2) An unspecified vulnerability was reported by the vendor, which involves strings in Moodle texts.

These vulnerabilities affect versions prior to 1.3.4.
