External Control of Assumed-Immutable Web Parameter in moodle

CVE-2022-30597GHSA-x6gm-qqwp-76gr

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (moodle/moodle 4.0.1, 3.11.7, 3.10.11, 3.9.14), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2022-30597

Advisory: External Control of Assumed-Immutable Web Parameter in moodle
IDs: CVE-2022-30597, GHSA-x6gm-qqwp-76gr
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2022-30597 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:09 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.3)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: moodle/moodle 4.0.1, 3.11.7, 3.10.11, 3.9.14. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist moodle/moodle: affected >= 4.0, < 4.0.1; >= 3.11, < 3.11.7; >= 3.10, < 3.10.11; >= 3.9, < 3.9.14; fixed in 3.11.7, 3.10.11, 3.9.14, 4.0.1

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist moodle/moodle: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on moodle/moodle.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
