Description Laura Pardo 2018-09-17 16:13:28 UTC
A flaw was found in Moodle. The breadcrumb navigation provided by Boost theme when displaying search results of a blog were insufficiently filtered, which could result in reflected XSS if a user followed a malicious link containing JavaScript in the search parameter.
