The KSES text cleaning filter in lib/weblib.php in Moodle before 1.8.13 and 1.9.x before 1.9.9 does not properly handle vbscript URIs, which allows remote authenticated users to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via HTML input.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-2230 is an authenticated cross-site scripting issue in Moodle’s KSES text-cleaning filter. Older Moodle 1.8 and 1.9 releases may fail to sanitize vbscript URI content in HTML input, allowing a logged-in user to inject script content into pages viewed by others. Exposure is most likely in legacy Moodle deployments running before 1.8.13 or 1.9.x before 1.9.9, especially where authenticated users can submit HTML content. Modern Moodle versions are not identified as affected in the provided sources. Treat this as a legacy-platform cleanup issue unless affected Moodle versions are still in production. Prioritize remediation for externally reachable portals or environments with many semi-trusted users, such as students, contractors, or customers. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Moodle 1.8 installations to 1.8.13 or later.; Upgrade Moodle 1.9.x installations to 1.9.9 or later.; For packaged deployments, apply relevant Fedora or SUSE vendor updates..
