A flaw was found in Moodle. Insufficient escaping of the username on the password reset page allowed a minor cross-site scripting (XSS) risk if an unauthenticated user was tricked into opening a crafted password reset link. The reporter states this did not affect authenticated user sessions; that disclaimer is reflected in the impact assessment here.

A flaw was found in Moodle. An incorrect capability check in the AI editor placement's "generate image" web service allowed a user to invoke that feature without holding the required capability. The advisory does not state the exact privilege level of an affected user; this draft assumes access is limited to users who already hold some content-editing role rather than a fully anonymous or lowest-privilege user.

A flaw was found in Moodle. When enrolling a user into a course while assigning them to a group, the application does not verify whether the selected group actually belongs to that course. An authenticated user with teacher privileges could exploit this flaw to add users to groups within courses they do not have authorization to access.

A flaw was found in Moodle. User list filters did not respect user profile field visibility settings, allowing a manager to filter by a profile field they could not otherwise view on a user's profile, resulting in partial, inference-based information disclosure.

A flaw was found in Moodle. The XML grade import feature lacks proper Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) token validation. By tricking an authenticated user with grade management permissions into visiting a malicious webpage, an attacker can trigger unauthorized requests on the victim's behalf. This flaw allows a remote attacker to set or overwrite student grades without authorization.

A flaw was found in Moodle. When enrolling a user into a course while selecting a group, a check that the selected group actually belonged to that course was missing, allowing a teacher to add users to groups in courses the teacher could not otherwise access.

A flaw was found in Moodle. The XML grade import functionality, which allows setting or overwriting of student grades, did not include the token required to prevent a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) risk, allowing an attacker to overwrite grades on behalf of a logged-in victim who visits a malicious page.

A flaw was found in Moodle. User list filters did not respect user profile field visibility settings, allowing a manager to filter by a profile field they could not otherwise view on a user's profile, resulting in partial, inference-based information disclosure.

A flaw was found in Moodle. Insufficient escaping in templates used to display forum posts resulted in a cross-site scripting (XSS) risk, allowing a stored script to execute in the browser of another user who views the affected forum post.

A flaw was found in Moodle. The manual enrolment management page did not correctly observe the disabled state of the manual enrolment plugin, allowing direct access to the page when the plugin was disabled and no longer linked from the UI. The relevant enrolment capability was still required to access the page, limiting the practical impact.

A flaw was found in Moodle. An authenticated attacker can supply an improperly validated audience class name to the Report Builder component, allowing arbitrary class instantiation. This vulnerability enables the unauthorized creation of internal program objects, which may result in unexpected application behavior.

A flaw was found in Moodle. Due to a missing capability check, a low-privileged authenticated user can trigger the recalculation of grade penalties without holding the required permissions. This issue allows unauthorized users to modify grade penalty records, potentially altering student assessment scores.

A flaw was found in Moodle. Missing capability checks made it possible for a low-privileged authenticated user to trigger grade penalty recalculation without holding the capability normally required to do so.

A flaw was found in Moodle. Insufficient escaping in templates used to display forum posts resulted in a cross-site scripting (XSS) risk, allowing a stored script to execute in the browser of another user who views the affected forum post.

A flaw was found in Moodle's report builder (corereportbuilder). Insufficient validation of the audience classname allowed arbitrary class instantiation. No exploitable gadget chain leading to a stronger impact (e.g. code execution or data disclosure) has been demonstrated; the flaw is treated here as instantiation of an arbitrary class with no confirmed further primitive.

A flaw was found in Moodle. The manual enrolment management page did not correctly observe the disabled state of the manual enrolment plugin, allowing direct access to the page when the plugin was disabled and no longer linked from the UI. The relevant enrolment capability was still required to access the page, limiting the practical impact.

A flaw was found in Moodle. An incorrect capability check in the grade web service allows an authenticated student to access profile information of other students enrolled in the same course that they should not have permission to view. This issue leads to unauthorized information disclosure.

A flaw was found in Moodle's grade web service. An incorrect capability check allowed a student to access profile information of other students enrolled in the same course, which they would not otherwise have access to.

A flaw was found in Moodle. A SQL injection risk was identified in a question bank web service, allowing unsanitized input to reach a database query. The advisory does not state the exact capability required to call the affected web service function; this draft assumes it requires an elevated (teacher-level) role rather than being reachable by a basic authenticated user.

A flaw was found in Moodle. Incorrect handling of IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses within the URL downloader's host-blocking logic allows an authenticated remote user to bypass blocked-host restrictions. By supplying a crafted URL, an attacker can induce the server to make requests to restricted destinations, leading to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF).

A flaw was found in Moodle's URL downloader. Incorrect handling of IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses in the host-blocking logic allows an authenticated user to bypass some blocked-host restrictions, resulting in a server-side request forgery (SSRF) risk when the downloader fetches a crafted URL. No further impact beyond partial blocklist bypass has been demonstrated.

Moodle LMS 4.0 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts by submitting payloads through the search parameter. Attackers can inject JavaScript code via the search field in course/search.php to execute arbitrary scripts in users' browsers and steal session cookies.

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 Denial-of-Service vulnerability exists in Moodle’s TeX formula editor due to missing execution time controls during TeX rendering with mimetex. An authenticated user can submit specially crafted TeX content that causes excessive CPU consumption, resulting in degraded performance or service outage. While confidentiality and integrity are not impacted, availability of the Moodle instance may be significantly affected.

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.
