repository/s3/S3.php in the Amazon S3 library in Moodle through 2.2.11, 2.3.x before 2.3.9, 2.4.x before 2.4.6, and 2.5.x before 2.5.2 does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate, related to an incorrect CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST value.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Moodle versions could trust the wrong HTTPS server when using the Amazon S3 repository library. An attacker positioned between Moodle and S3 could present any otherwise valid certificate, even for another hostname, and impersonate the S3 endpoint. Exposure is most likely in legacy Moodle deployments using the Amazon S3 repository feature on the affected version ranges. Systems not using that repository path may have lower practical exposure, but the source bundle does not prove non-exposure. Treat this as a legacy-platform remediation issue. It is not cited as actively exploited, but affected Moodle instances could lose trust in encrypted S3 communications if an attacker can intercept traffic. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Moodle branches to fixed versions named in vendor guidance.; Prioritize replacing Moodle 2.2.11 or older because the bundle lists it as affected.; Review Moodle’s MDL-40615 guidance and release notes before applying changes..
