Synopsis

Moodle 4.1.x < 4.1.3 Arbitrary Folder Creation

Description

According to its self-reported version, the Moodle install hosted on the remote host is prior to 4.1.3. It is, therefore, affected by an Arbitrary Folder creation in TinyMCE.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Moodle version 4.1.3 or later.
