Security Vulnerabilities by patrick@puiterwijk.org

A vulnerability was found in GNOME Shell. GNOME Shell's lock screen allows an unauthenticated local user to view windows of the locked desktop session by using keyboard shortcuts to unlock the restricted functionality of the screenshot tool.

An issue in the logic used to check 0.0.0.0 against the cURL blocked hosts lists resulted in an SSRF risk. This flaw affects Moodle versions 4.2, 4.1 to 4.1.3, 4.0 to 4.0.8, 3.11 to 3.11.14, 3.9 to 3.9.21 and earlier unsupported versions.

A limited SQL injection risk was identified on the Mnet SSO access control page. This flaw affects Moodle versions 4.2, 4.1 to 4.1.3, 4.0 to 4.0.8, 3.11 to 3.11.14, 3.9 to 3.9.21 and earlier unsupported versions.

Content on the groups page required additional sanitizing to prevent an XSS risk. This flaw affects Moodle versions 4.2, 4.1 to 4.1.3, 4.0 to 4.0.8 and 3.11 to 3.11.14.

The vulnerability was found Moodle which exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in external Wiki method for listing pages. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute limited SQL commands within the application database.

The vulnerability was found Moodle which exists because the application allows a user to control path of the older to create in TinyMCE loaders. A remote user can send a specially crafted HTTP request and create arbitrary folders on the system.

Insufficient filtering of grade report history made it possible for teachers to access the names of users they could not otherwise access.

The link to reset all templates of a database activity did not include the necessary token to prevent a CSRF risk.

Authenticated users were able to enumerate other users' names via the learning plans page.

The Mustache pix helper contained a potential Mustache injection risk if combined with user input (note: This did not appear to be implemented/exploitable anywhere in the core Moodle LMS).

If the algebra filter was enabled but not functional (eg the necessary binaries were missing from the server), it presented an XSS risk.

Content output by the database auto-linking filter required additional sanitizing to prevent an XSS risk.

Insufficient sanitizing in backup resulted in an arbitrary file read risk. The capability to access this feature is only available to teachers, managers and admins by default.

Insufficient validation of profile field availability condition resulted in an SQL injection risk (by default only available to teachers and managers).

The vulnerability was found Moodle which exists due to insufficient limitations on the "start page" preference. A remote attacker can set that preference for another user. The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The vulnerability was found Moodle which exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in blog search. 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. This flaw allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability was found Moodle which exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in some returnurl parameters. 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. This flaw allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

A Segmentation fault was found in UPX in PackLinuxElf64::invert_pt_dynamic() in p_lx_elf.cpp. An attacker with a crafted input file allows invalid memory address access that could lead to a denial of service.

A heap-based buffer overflow issue was discovered in UPX in PackTmt::pack() in p_tmt.cpp file. The flow allows an attacker to cause a denial of service (abort) via a crafted file.

Separate Groups mode restrictions were not honoured in the forum summary report, which would display users from other groups.

In a shared hosting environment that has been misconfigured to allow access to other users' content, a Moodle user who also has direct access to the web server outside of the Moodle webroot could utilise a local file include to achieve remote code execution.

Insufficient web service capability checks made it possible to move categories a user had permission to manage, to a parent category they did not have the capability to manage.

Stronger revision number limitations were required on file serving endpoints to improve cache poisoning protection.

The course upload preview contained an XSS risk for users uploading unsafe data.

ID numbers displayed in the quiz grading report required additional sanitizing to prevent a stored XSS risk.
