Discussion

Moodle Log Table HTML Injection Vulnerability

Moodle is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.

Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.

The following Moodle branches and corresponding versions are affected:

1.9.x: prior to 1.9.4
1.8.x: prior to 1.8.8
1.7.x: prior to 1.7.7
1.6.x: prior to 1.6.9
