The remote Fedora 39 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-6bd1586dc5 advisory.

  • A remote code execution risk was identified in the Lesson activity. By default this was only available to teachers and managers. (CVE-2023-5539)

  • A remote code execution risk was identified in the IMSCP activity. By default this was only available to teachers and managers. (CVE-2023-5540)

  • The CSV grade import method contained an XSS risk for users importing the spreadsheet, if it contained unsafe content. (CVE-2023-5541)

  • Students in Only see own membership groups could see other students in the group, which should be hidden. (CVE-2023-5542)

  • When duplicating a BigBlueButton activity, the original meeting ID was also duplicated instead of using a new ID for the new activity. This could provide unintended access to the original meeting. (CVE-2023-5543)

  • Wiki comments required additional sanitizing and access restrictions to prevent a stored XSS risk and potential IDOR risk. (CVE-2023-5544)

  • H5P metadata automatically populated the author with the user’s username, which could be sensitive information. (CVE-2023-5545)

  • ID numbers displayed in the quiz grading report required additional sanitizing to prevent a stored XSS risk. (CVE-2023-5546)

  • The course upload preview contained an XSS risk for users uploading unsafe data. (CVE-2023-5547)

  • Stronger revision number limitations were required on file serving endpoints to improve cache poisoning protection. (CVE-2023-5548)

  • Insufficient web service capability checks made it possible to move categories a user had permission to manage, to a parent category they did not have the capability to manage. (CVE-2023-5549)

  • In a shared hosting environment that has been misconfigured to allow access to other users’ content, a Moodle user who also has direct access to the web server outside of the Moodle webroot could utilise a local file include to achieve remote code execution. (CVE-2023-5550)

  • Separate Groups mode restrictions were not honoured in the forum summary report, which would display users from other groups. (CVE-2023-5551)

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