The Shibboleth authentication plugin in auth/shibboleth/index.php in Moodle through 2.3.11, 2.4.x before 2.4.11, and 2.5.x before 2.5.7 does not check whether a session ID is empty, which allows remote authenticated users to hijack sessions via crafted plugin interaction.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE affects older Moodle sites using the Shibboleth authentication plugin. A logged-in user could exploit weak session handling to hijack another session through crafted plugin interaction. The business risk is account compromise inside learning platforms, especially where Moodle holds student, staff, or course data. Exposure is most likely on legacy Moodle deployments that enabled Shibboleth authentication and still run the affected 2.3, 2.4, or 2.5 release lines. Prioritize remediation where Moodle is externally reachable, uses Shibboleth, or protects sensitive education or staff data. Legacy Moodle platforms should be treated as operational debt with direct account-compromise implications. Mitigation focus: Inventory Moodle deployments and identify Shibboleth authentication usage.; Upgrade Moodle 2.4.x installations to at least 2.4.11.; Upgrade Moodle 2.5.x installations to at least 2.5.7..
