A flaw was found in Moodle. Additional restrictions are required to avoid a remote code execution risk in calculated question types. Note: This requires the capability to add/update questions.
CVE-2024-43425
Score elevated to 9.0 because EPSS predicts 83% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (top 0.3% of all CVEs). NVD baseline CVSS 8.1 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.
- High exploitation likelihood — EPSS 83%
- Public exploit code is available (Metasploit, epss top5pct, epss high, public exploit)
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
