Summary

In Moodle, insufficient sanitization of username input on the password reset page allows a remote attacker to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. By convincing an unauthenticated user to access a specially crafted password reset link, an attacker could execute arbitrary script in the victim's browser.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser, potentially leading to session data theft or redirection to malicious sites. The vulnerability is particularly dangerous because it does not require the victim to be authenticated.

Recommendation

Update Moodle to a version that fixes input sanitization on the password reset page. Consider implementing a Content Security Policy (CSP) to mitigate XSS impact.
