Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Moodle before 1.6.8, 1.7 before 1.7.6, 1.8 before 1.8.7, and 1.9 before 1.9.3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a Wiki page name (aka page title).

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Moodle cross-site scripting flaw in Wiki page titles. An attacker could place script or HTML where a page name is displayed, potentially affecting users who view that content. The bundle provides no CVSS score and no KEV listing, so urgency depends on whether legacy Moodle versions are still running. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still operating obsolete Moodle 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, or 1.9 installations, especially where Wiki functionality is enabled or reachable by untrusted users. Treat this as a legacy-platform risk, not a current emergency by default. Prioritize it if public or partner-facing Moodle systems remain on affected versions, because XSS can undermine user trust and expose sessions or sensitive learning data. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Moodle to 1.6.8, 1.7.6, 1.8.7, 1.9.3, or later supported releases.; Check Moodle vendor and distribution advisories for exact package names and backported fixes.; Restrict access to Wiki creation and editing on any legacy instance until upgraded..
