2018

Cross-site Scripting

Moodle is vulnerable to a boost theme; the blog search GET parameter is insufficiently filtered. The breadcrumb navigation provided by Boost theme when displaying search results of a blog were insufficiently filtered, which could result in reflected XSS if a user followed a malicious link containing JavaScript in the search parameter.

Code Injection

Moodle is vulnerable to an XML import of ddwtos could lead to intentional remote code execution.
