Description Jan Lieskovsky 2013-03-25 13:42:29 UTC 
A security flaw was found in the way Moodle, a course management system, performed notes editation (it was possible to assign a note to a different user during note editation). A remote attacker (valid Moodle user) could use this flaw to in an unauthorized way alter edit notes form content, leading to their ability to assign note to selected user.
