Synopsis
The remote web server hosts a PHP script that is affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.Description
The version of Moodle installed on the remote host is affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities due to the application failing to properly sanitize user-supplied input to multiple parameters. An attacker can leverage these vulnerabilities to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.Note that Nessus has not tested for each issue, but has checked for patched JavaScript files to verify a patched version is running.
Solution
Upgrade to version 2.4.11 / 2.5.7 / 2.6.4 / 2.7.1 or laterSee Also
