A vulnerability was found in a Moodle TeX filter administrative setting where insufficient sanitization of configuration input could allow command injection. On sites where the TeX filter is enabled and ImageMagick is installed, a maliciously crafted setting value entered by an administrator could result in unintended system command execution. While exploitation requires administrative privileges, successful compromise could affect the entire Moodle server.
A denial-of-service vulnerability was identified in Moodle’s TeX formula editor. When rendering TeX content using mimetex, insufficient execution time limits could allow specially crafted formulas to consume excessive server resources. An authenticated user could abuse this behavior to degrade performance or cause service interruption.
A flaw was identified in Moodle’s backup restore functionality where specially crafted backup files were not properly validated during processing. If a malicious backup file is restored, it could lead to unintended execution of server-side code. Since restore capabilities are typically available to privileged users, exploitation requires authenticated access. Successful exploitation could result in full compromise of the Moodle server.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Flash component infrastructure in YUI 2.4.0 through 2.8.1, as used in Bugzilla, Moodle, and other products, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors related to charts/assets/charts.swf.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Flash component infrastructure in YUI 2.5.0 through 2.8.1, as used in Bugzilla, Moodle, and other products, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors related to uploader/assets/uploader.swf.
SQL injection vulnerability in ing/blocks/mrbs/code/web/view_entry.php in the MRBS plugin for Moodle allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the id parameter.
