An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2004-1978 exists.\n\nAffected product: Moodle Moodle. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-1978/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-1978/index.md)","id":"CVE-2004-1978","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-1978/index.md","name":"CVE-2004-1978","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2c5m-jj29-px47"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Moodle LMS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary scripts into Moodle's help page, potentially stealing user sessions or executing malicious code.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"moodle","vendor":"moodle"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in help.php in Moodle before 1.3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML and web script via the text parameter.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2004-04-30","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2004-04-30","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"24071","stars":null,"title":"Moodle 1.1/1.2 - Cross-Site Scripting"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1978","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"moodle:moodle","products":["moodle:moodle"],"type":"xss","year":"2004"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1979"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1977"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2005-05-10","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-4935","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-09-23"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Moodle does not properly validate module instance id","id":"CVE-2006-4936","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-09-23"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Unknown \"front page vulnerability with Moodle servers\" for Moodle before 1.3.2 has unknown impact and attack vectors.","id":"CVE-2004-2233","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-07-17"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2235","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-07-17"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2236","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-07-17"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Unknown vulnerability in Moodle before 1.3.4 has unknown impact and attack vectors, related to \"strings in Moodle texts.\"","id":"CVE-2004-2237","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-07-17"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Multiple unknown vulnerabilities in Moodle before 1.5.1 have unknown impact and attack vectors.","id":"CVE-2005-2247","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-07-12"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary scripts into Moodle's help page, potentially stealing user sessions or executing malicious code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-1978/"}
