    "Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in Moodle, a
    course management system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
    project identifies the following problems :
    
      - CVE-2010-1613
        Moodle does not enable the 'Regenerate session id during
        login' setting by default, which makes it easier for
        remote attackers to conduct session fixation attacks.
    
      - CVE-2010-1614
        Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities
        allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or
        HTML via vectors related to (1) the Login-As feature or
        (2) when the global search feature is enabled,
        unspecified global search forms in the Global Search
        Engine.
    
      - CVE-2010-1615
        Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities allow remote
        attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via vectors
        related to (1) the add_to_log function in
        mod/wiki/view.php in the wiki module, or (2) 'data
        validation in some forms elements' related to
        lib/form/selectgroups.php.
    
      - CVE-2010-1616
        Moodle can create new roles when restoring a course,
        which allows teachers to create new accounts even if
        they do not have the moodle/user:create capability.
    
      - CVE-2010-1617
        user/view.php does not properly check a role, which
        allows remote authenticated users to obtain the full
        names of other users via the course profile page.
    
      - CVE-2010-1618
        A Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the phpCAS
        client library allows remote attackers to inject
        arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted URL, which is
        not properly handled in an error message.
    
      - CVE-2010-1619
        A Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the
        fix_non_standard_entities function in the KSES HTML text
        cleaning library (weblib.php) allows remote attackers to
        inject arbitrary web script or HTML via crafted HTML
        entities.
    
      - CVE-2010-2228
        A Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the MNET
        access-control interface allows remote attackers to
        inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors
        involving extended characters in a username.
    
      - CVE-2010-2229
        Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in
        blog/index.php allow remote attackers to inject
        arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified parameters.
    
      - CVE-2010-2230
        The KSES text cleaning filter in lib/weblib.php does not
        properly handle vbscript URIs, which allows remote
        authenticated users to conduct cross-site scripting
        (XSS) attacks via HTML input.
    
      - CVE-2010-2231
        A Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in
        report/overview/report.php in the quiz module allows
        remote attackers to hijack the authentication of
        arbitrary users for requests that delete quiz attempts
        via the attemptid parameter."
