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

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.

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.
