Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, 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-2009-1171 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-2009-1171/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-1171/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-1171","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-1171/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-1171","record":{"aliases":["DSA-1761-1","GHSA-c8pm-7v2j-xmww"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Moodle LMS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can read arbitrary files on the server by exploiting a LaTeX injection vulnerability in the Moodle TeX filter.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"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:P/I:N/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"The TeX filter in Moodle 1.6 before 1.6.9+, 1.7 before 1.7.7+, 1.8 before 1.8.9, and 1.9 before 1.9.5 allows user-assisted attackers to read arbitrary files via an input command in a \"$$\" sequence, which causes LaTeX to include the contents of the file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2009-03-27","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2009-03-27","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"8297","stars":null,"title":"Moodle \u003c 1.6.9/1.7.7/1.8.9/1.9.5 - File Disclosure"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1171","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"moodle:moodle","products":["moodle:moodle"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2009"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":14,"next":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1172"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1170"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-03-30","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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"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":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can read arbitrary files on the server by exploiting a LaTeX injection vulnerability in the Moodle TeX filter.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-1171/"}
