CVE-2011-1406

First published: Fri May 13 2011(Updated: )

Mahara before 1.3.6 does not properly handle an https URL in the wwwroot configuration setting, which makes it easier for user-assisted remote attackers to obtain credentials by sniffing the network at a time when an http URL is used for a login.
