The forumprintlatestdiscussions function in mod/forum/lib.php in Moodle through 2.4.11, 2.5.x before 2.5.8, 2.6.x before 2.6.5, and 2.7.x before 2.7.2 allows remote authenticated users to bypass the individual answer-posting requirement without the mod/forum:viewqandawithoutposting capability, and discover an author's username, by leveraging the student role and visiting a Q&A forum.
Directory traversal vulnerability in repository/filesystem/lib.php in Moodle through 2.2.11, 2.3.x before 2.3.10, 2.4.x before 2.4.7, and 2.5.x before 2.5.3 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in a path.
lib/filelib.php in Moodle through 2.2.11, 2.3.x before 2.3.10, 2.4.x before 2.4.7, and 2.5.x before 2.5.3 does not send "Cache-Control: private" HTTP headers, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by requesting a file that had been previously retrieved by a caching proxy server.
Moodle through 2.5.2 allows remote authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary programs by configuring the aspell pathname and then triggering a spell-check operation within the TinyMCE editor.
repository/webdav/lib.php in Moodle 2.x through 2.1.10, 2.2.x before 2.2.8, 2.3.x before 2.3.5, and 2.4.x before 2.4.2 includes the WebDAV password in the configuration form, which allows remote authenticated administrators to obtain sensitive information by configuring an instance.
Moodle 2.x through 2.1.10, 2.2.x before 2.2.8, 2.3.x before 2.3.5, and 2.4.x before 2.4.2 does not properly manage privileges for WebDAV repositories, which allows remote authenticated users to read, modify, or delete arbitrary site-wide repositories by leveraging certain read access.
user/view.php in Moodle through 2.1.10, 2.2.x before 2.2.8, 2.3.x before 2.3.5, and 2.4.x before 2.4.2 does not enforce the forceloginforprofiles setting, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive course-profile information by leveraging the guest role, as demonstrated by a Google search.
lib/setuplib.php in Moodle through 2.1.10, 2.2.x before 2.2.8, 2.3.x before 2.3.5, and 2.4.x before 2.4.2 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via an invalid request, which reveals the absolute path in an exception message.
notes/edit.php in Moodle 1.9.x through 1.9.19, 2.x through 2.1.10, 2.2.x before 2.2.8, 2.3.x before 2.3.5, and 2.4.x before 2.4.2 allows remote authenticated users to reassign notes via a modified (1) userid or (2) courseid field.
Moodle 1.9.x before 1.9.18, 2.0.x before 2.0.9, 2.1.x before 2.1.6, and 2.2.x before 2.2.3 allows remote authenticated users to bypass the moodle/calendar:manageownentries capability requirement and add a calendar entry via a New Entry action.
admin/roles/override.php in Moodle 2.0.x before 2.0.9, 2.1.x before 2.1.6, and 2.2.x before 2.2.3 allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges by leveraging the teacher role and modifying their own capabilities, as demonstrated by obtaining the backup:userinfo capability.
Moodle 2.0.x before 2.0.9, 2.1.x before 2.1.6, and 2.2.x before 2.2.3 allows remote authenticated users to bypass an activity's read-only state and modify the database by leveraging the student role and editing database activity entries that already exist.
Moodle 1.9.x before 1.9.15, 2.0.x before 2.0.6, and 2.1.x before 2.1.3 does not properly handle user/actionredir group messages, which allows remote authenticated users to discover e-mail addresses by visiting the messaging interface.
The web services implementation in Moodle 2.0.x before 2.0.6 and 2.1.x before 2.1.3 does not properly consider the maintenance-mode state and account attributes during login attempts, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions by connecting to a webservice server.
lib/moodlelib.php in Moodle 1.9.x before 1.9.15, 2.0.x before 2.0.6, and 2.1.x before 2.1.3 does not properly handle certain zero values in the password policy, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access by leveraging the possible existence of user accounts that have unchangeable blank passwords.
backup/moodle2/restorestepslib.php in Moodle 2.0.x before 2.0.6 and 2.1.x before 2.1.3 does not check for the moodle/course:changeidnumber privilege during handling of course ID numbers, which allows remote authenticated users to overwrite ID numbers via a restore action.
The command-line cron implementation in Moodle 2.0.x before 2.0.6 and 2.1.x before 2.1.3 does not properly interact with IP blocking, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended IP address restrictions by leveraging a configuration in which IP blocking was disabled to restore cron functionality.
Moodle 2.0.x before 2.0.6 and 2.1.x before 2.1.3 displays web service tokens associated with (1) disabled services and (2) users who no longer have authorization, which allows remote authenticated users to have an unspecified impact by reading these tokens.
CRLF injection vulnerability in calendar/set.php in the Calendar subsystem in Moodle 1.9.x before 1.9.15, 2.0.x before 2.0.6, and 2.1.x before 2.1.3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks via unspecified vectors.
The MNET authentication functionality in Moodle 1.9.x before 1.9.15, 2.0.x before 2.0.6, and 2.1.x before 2.1.3 allows remote authenticated users to impersonate other user accounts by using the Login As feature in conjunction with a remote MNET single sign-on capability, as demonstrated by a Mahara site.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the printobject function in lib/datalib.php in Moodle 2.0.x before 2.0.6 and 2.1.x before 2.1.3, when a developer debugging script is enabled, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors involving object states.
Moodle 1.9.x before 1.9.16, 2.0.x before 2.0.7, 2.1.x before 2.1.4, and 2.2.x before 2.2.1 does not validate e-mail address settings, which allows remote authenticated users to have an unspecified impact via a crafted address.
Impact Arbitrary additional email headers can be injected via crafted From or Sender headers.
Patches Fixed in 2.2.1
Workarounds Filter user-supplied values prior to using them in From or Sender properties.

The rc4encrypt function in lib/moodlelib.php in Moodle 1.9.x before 1.9.16, 2.0.x before 2.0.7, 2.1.x before 2.1.4, and 2.2.x before 2.2.1 uses a hardcoded password of nfgjeingjk, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms by reading this script's source code within the open-source software distribution.
Moodle 2.0.x before 2.0.7 and 2.1.x before 2.1.4, when an anonymous front-page forum is enabled, allows remote attackers to obtain session keys for their sessions by visiting the front page.
Moodle 1.9.x before 1.9.16, 2.0.x before 2.0.7, 2.1.x before 2.1.4, and 2.2.x before 2.2.1 allows remote attackers to view the profile images of arbitrary user accounts via unspecified vectors.
comment/lib.php in Moodle 2.0.x before 2.0.4 and 2.1.x before 2.1.1 does not properly restrict comment capabilities, which allows remote attackers to post a comment by leveraging the guest role and operating on a front-page activity.
The error-message functionality in Moodle 1.9.x before 1.9.13, 2.0.x before 2.0.4, and 2.1.x before 2.1.1 does not ensure that a continuation link refers to an http or https URL for the local Moodle instance, which might allow attackers to trick users into visiting arbitrary web sites via error message links that lead offsite.
The moodleenrolexternal:roleassign function in enrol/externallib.php in Moodle 2.0.x before 2.0.4 and 2.1.x before 2.1.1 does not have an authorization check, which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges by making a role assignment.
The theme implementation in Moodle 2.0.x before 2.0.4 and 2.1.x before 2.1.1 triggers duplicate caching of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript content, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and write to an operating-system temporary directory via unspecified vectors.
