Discussion
Moodle CVE-2015-3175 Open Redirection Vulnerability
Moodle is prone to an open-redirection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker can leverage this issue 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.
Moodle versions 2.8 through 2.8.5, 2.7 through 2.7.7, and 2.6 through 2.6.10 are vulnerable.
