"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."
