LMS vulnerabilities

A flaw was found in Moodle. Additional restrictions are required to avoid a remote code execution risk in calculated question types. Note: This requires the capability to add/update questions.

Symphony process is a module for the Symphony PHP framework which executes commands in sub-processes. On Windows, when an executable file named `cmd.exe` is located in the current working directory it will be called by the `Process` class when preparing command arguments, leading to possible hijacking. This issue has been addressed in release versions 5.4.46, 6.4.14, and 7.1.7. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in itsourcecode Tailoring Management System 1.0. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file staffcatedit.php. The manipulation of the argument title leads to sql injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

The Tutor LMS Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'course_carousel_skin' attribute within the plugin's Course Carousel widget in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘course_id’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.1 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with admin access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. CVE-2024-37256 is likely a duplicate of this issue.

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Totara LMS up to 18.7. This affects an unknown part of the component User Selector. The manipulation leads to cross-site request forgery. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitability is told to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 13.46, 14.38, 15.33, 16.27, 17.21 and 18.8 is able to address this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.

A vulnerability was found in Totara LMS up to 18.7. It has been rated as problematic.

The MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin – for Online Courses and Education plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to union based SQL Injection via the 'user' parameter of the /lms/stm-lms/order/items REST route in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.5 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

In Moodle, insufficient capability checks meant message deletions were not limited to the current user.

In Moodle, an SQL injection risk was identified in the library fetching a user's recent courses.

Forma LMS on its 3.1.0 version and earlier is vulnerable to a SQL injection vulnerability. The exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an authenticated attacker (with the role of student) to perform a SQL injection on the 'dyn_filter' parameter in the 'appLms/ajax.adm_server.php?r=widget/userselector/getusertabledata' function in order to dump the entire database.

Forma LMS on its 3.1.0 version and earlier is vulnerable to a SQL injection vulnerability. The exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an authenticated attacker (with the role of student) to perform a SQL injection on the 'id' parameter in the 'appCore/index.php?r=adm/mediagallery/delete' function in order to dump the entire database or delete all contents from the 'core_user_file' table.

There is a vulnerability on Forma LMS version 3.1.0 and earlier that could allow an authenticated attacker (with the role of student) to privilege escalate in order to upload a Zip file through the SCORM importer feature. The exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a remote code injection.

Forma LMS on its 3.1.0 version and earlier is vulnerable to a SQL injection vulnerability. The exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an authenticated attacker (with the role of student) to perform a SQL injection on the 'search[value] parameter in the appLms/ajax.server.php?r=mycertificate/getMyCertificates' function in order to dump the entire database.
