Multiple unspecified authentication plugins in Moodle 1.8 before 1.8.11 and 1.9 before 1.9.7 store the MD5 hashes for passwords in the user table, even when the cached hashes are not used by the plugin, which might make it easier for attackers to obtain credentials via unspecified vectors.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Moodle deployments may have stored password MD5 hashes in the user table even when certain authentication plugins did not need them. If an attacker obtained database access or another unspecified path to those hashes, credential compromise could become easier. Exposure is most likely in legacy Moodle 1.8 or 1.9 installations, especially systems using non-default or external authentication plugins. Modern Moodle versions are not identified as affected in the provided sources. Treat this as a legacy-system hygiene issue with credential-theft implications. Prioritize if any Moodle 1.8 or 1.9 instance remains internet-facing, supports privileged accounts, or shares passwords with other services. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Moodle 1.8 installations to 1.8.11 or later.; Upgrade Moodle 1.9 installations to 1.9.7 or later.; Review Moodle vendor release notes and distribution advisories for package-specific guidance..
