Summary

lib/db/upgrade.php in Moodle 2.0.x before 2.0.5 and 2.1.x before 2.1.2 does not set the correct registration_hubs.secret value during installation, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging the hubs feature.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Signature Spoofing by Key Recreation
    An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by exploiting a cryptographic weakness in the signature algorithm or pseudorandom number generation and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.
