medium Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 8707

Synopsis

The remote web server is hosting a web application that is vulnerable to multiple attack vectors.

Description

The remote web server hosts Moodle, an open-source course management system. Versions of Moodle prior to 1.9.11 are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities exist in the media-filter implementation. Specifically, this affects the 'filter/mediaplugin/filter.php' script.

 - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in '/tag/tag_autocomplete.php' due to lack of input validation. (MSA-11-0003 / CVE-2011-4278)
