A serious authentication flaw allowed attackers with valid credentials to bypass multi-factor authentication under certain conditions, potentially compromising user accounts.
Moodle’s mobile and web service authentication endpoints did not sufficiently restrict repeated password attempts, making them susceptible to brute-force attacks.
Moodle exposed the names of hidden groups to users who had permission to create calendar events but not to view hidden groups. This could reveal private or restricted group information.
An issue in Moodle’s timed assignment feature allowed students to bypass the time restriction, potentially giving them more time than allowed to complete an assessment.
A flaw was found in the course overview output function where user access permissions were not fully enforced. This could allow unauthorized users to view information about courses they should not have access to, potentially exposing limited course details.
Moodle failed to verify enrolment status correctly when sending quiz notifications. As a result, suspended or inactive users might receive quiz-related messages, leaking limited course information.
A flaw in the cohort search web service allowed users with permissions in lower contexts to access cohort information from the system context, revealing restricted administrative data.
An error-handling issue in the Moodle router (r.php) could cause the application to display internal directory listings when specific HTTP headers were not properly configured.
A session fixation vulnerability in Moodle 3.x through 3.11.18 allows unauthenticated attackers to hijack user sessions via the sesskey parameter. The sesskey can be obtained without authentication and reused within the OAuth2 login flow, resulting in the victim's session being linked to the attacker's. Successful exploitation results in full account takeover. According to the Moodle Releases page, "Bug fixes for security issues in 3.11.x ended 11 December 2023." NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
