Mahara before 1.3.6 does not properly handle an https URL in the wwwroot configuration setting, which makes it easier for user-assisted remote attackers to obtain credentials by sniffing the network at a time when an http URL is used for a login.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2011-1406 affects Mahara versions before 1.3.6. Under certain HTTPS configuration conditions, a login could occur over HTTP, exposing credentials to network sniffing. This is mainly a concern for very old Mahara deployments or archives still reachable by users. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Mahara installations earlier than 1.3.6, especially systems intended to use HTTPS but still allowing HTTP login flows. Modern, fully upgraded Mahara deployments are not shown affected by the provided sources. Treat as a targeted legacy exposure issue. Prioritize remediation if Mahara is still internet-accessible, used for active accounts, or available on networks where traffic interception is plausible. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Mahara to 1.3.6 or a later vendor-supported release.; Review the Debian and Mahara advisories for package-specific guidance.; Ensure login and session pages are only reachable over HTTPS..
