| Detailed Description |
The Moodle software is vulnerable to multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities which exist in versions prior to 1.5.3. Moodle is an open-source PHP-based course management system (CMS) for Microsoft Windows, Unix, and Linux-based platforms. Moodle version 1.5.2 and earlier versions could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the 'id' parameter of 'course/category.php' and 'course/info.php' scripts, and the 'user' parameter of 'iplookup/ipatlas/plot.php' script. These vulnerabilities could permit a remote attacker to pass malicious input to database queries, potentially resulting in data exposure, modification of the query logic, or even data modification or attacks against the database itself.
