Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-4588)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

The ip_in_range function in mnet/lib.php in MNET in Moodle 1.9.x before 1.9.15 uses an incorrect data type, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended IP address restrictions via an XMLRPC request.


2) Configuration (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-4585)

CWE-ID: CWE-16 - Configuration

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

login/change_password.php in Moodle 1.9.x before 1.9.15 does not use https for the change-password form even if the httpslogin option is enabled, which allows remote attackers to obtain credentials by sniffing the network.
