The version of Moodle installed on the remote host is 3.5.x prior to 3.5.17, 3.8.x prior to 3.8.8, 3.9.x prior to 3.9.5 or 3.10.x prior to 3.10.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability attack due to the lack of sanitization of the user profile ID field. (CVE-2021-20279)

 - A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and blind Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities due to the lack of sanitization of text-based feedback answers. (CVE-2021-20280)

 - An information disclosure exposing other users full names via the online users block. (CVE-2021-20281)

 - A bypass in the email verification process when confirming an account registration. (CVE-2021-20282)

 - An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) allowing an user to request other users enrolled courses through the web service. (CVE-2021-20283)

 - A vulnerable jQuery component. (CVE-2020-11022, CVE-2020-11023)

Note that the scanner has not attempted to exploit this issue but has instead relied only on application's self-reported version number.

The remote Fedora 33 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2021-431b232659 advisory.

  - The ID number user profile field required additional sanitizing to prevent a stored XSS risk in moodle     before 3.10.2, 3.9.5, 3.8.8, 3.5.17. (CVE-2021-20279)

  - Text-based feedback answers required additional sanitizing to prevent stored XSS and blind SSRF risks in     moodle before 3.10.2, 3.9.5, 3.8.8, 3.5.17. (CVE-2021-20280)

  - It was possible for some users without permission to view other users' full names to do so via the online     users block in moodle before 3.10.2, 3.9.5, 3.8.8, 3.5.17. (CVE-2021-20281)

  - The web service responsible for fetching other users' enrolled courses did not validate that the     requesting user had permission to view that information in each course in moodle before 3.10.2, 3.9.5,     3.8.8, 3.5.17. (CVE-2021-20283)
