CVE-2023-30943

32
FAUCET Score

CVE-2023-30943 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Moodle, affecting various Fedora Project and Moodle packages, where an unauthenticated remote attacker can create arbitrary folders on the system. This is due to improper path control in TinyMCE loaders, allowing a specially crafted HTTP request to bypass security measures. While the CVSS score is 5.3 (Medium), its FAUCET Risk Score of 91/100 indicates a higher practical risk. There is no evidence of active exploitation, Metasploit modules, or ExploitDB entries, though Nuclei templates exist for related vulnerabilities. Community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
