Synopsis

Moodle 5.x < 5.0.1 Reflected Cross-Site Scripting

Description

According to its self-reported version, the Moodle install hosted on the remote host is 5.x prior to 5.0.1 . It is, therefore, affected by a Reflected XSS in MathJax.

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 5.0.1 or latest.
