Moodle SQL Injection Vulnerability

Moodle is prone to an SQL-injection vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data. Exploiting this issue may allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database implementation.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that untrusted data is not used to construct SQL queries in a way that would allow an attacker to modify the logic of the executed query.
