Discussion

Moodle CVE-2012-6101 Multiple URI Redirection Vulnerabilities

Moodle is prone to multiple open-redirection vulnerabilities because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker can leverage these issues by constructing a crafted URI and enticing a user to follow it. When an unsuspecting victim follows the link, they may be redirected to an attacker-controlled site; this may aid in phishing attacks. Other attacks are possible.

Note: These issues was previously discussed in BID 57475 (Moodle Multiple Remote Security Vulnerabilities), but has been moved to its own record for better documentation.
