Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1832)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

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


The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to gain access to sensitive information.

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.


2) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1833)

CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

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:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data when processing data passed via a crafted filename. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.


3) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1834)

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

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


The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to manipulate data.

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.


4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1835)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

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


The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to gain access to sensitive information.

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 allows remote authenticated administrators to obtain sensitive information from the external repositories of arbitrary users by leveraging the login_as feature.


5) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1836)

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

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


The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to read and manipulate data.

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.


6) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1831)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

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.

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.


7) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1829)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

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


The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to gain access to sensitive information.

calendar/managesubscriptions.php in Moodle 2.4.x before 2.4.2 does not consider capability requirements before displaying calendar subscriptions, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain potentially sensitive information by leveraging the student role.
