Description ybuenos 2022-09-14 15:00:48 UTC
In certain Moodle products after creating a course, it is possible to add in a arbitrary "Topic" a resource, in this case a "Database" with the type "Text" where its values "Field name" and "Field description" are vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting Stored(XSS). This affects Moodle 3.11 and Moodle 3.10.4 and Moodle 3.9.7.

Affects: fedora-all [bug 2126858]

Comment 2 Product Security DevOps Team 2022-11-27 04:27:41 UTC
This CVE Bugzilla entry is for community support informational purposes only as it does not affect a package in a commercially supported Red Hat product. Refer to the dependent bugs for status of those individual community products.

How did you come to this conclusion? I don't think any fix exists, and Moodle is indeed packaged by Red Hat products.
