CVE-2022-35653: A reflected XSS issue was identified in the LTI module of Moodle.

A reflected XSS issue was identified in the LTI module of Moodle. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in the LTI module. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, can perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks. This vulnerability does not impact authenticated users.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2022-35653 is a reflected cross-site scripting issue in Moodle's LTI module. An attacker could lure a victim to a crafted link and run script in the victim's browser under the Moodle site's context. The source states authenticated users are not impacted. Exposure is most likely for internet-accessible Moodle sites using affected releases before the fixed 4.0.2, 3.11.8, or 3.9.15 versions. The supplied description limits impact by stating authenticated users are not affected. Treat this as a timely but not emergency Moodle update unless local exposure is high. The issue can support phishing or browser-side compromise, but supplied evidence shows no KEV listing, no active exploitation, and no authenticated-user impact. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Moodle to 4.0.2, 3.11.8, 3.9.15, or later applicable fixed releases.; Review Moodle's advisory and MDL-72299 commit references for branch-specific guidance.; Prioritize externally reachable Moodle instances and LTI-related routes for update validation..

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
