Moodle affected by a code injection vulnerability
CVE-2025-67847GHSA-xvmh-25jw-gmmm
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (moodle/moodle 5.1.1, 5.0.4, 4.5.8, 4.4.12, 4.1.22), 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.

Source description
As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.
A flaw was found in Moodle. An attacker with access to the restore interface could trigger server-side execution of arbitrary code. This is due to insufficient validation of restore input, which leads to unintended interpretation by core restore routines. Successful exploitation could result in a full compromise of the Moodle application.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2025-67847 Advisory: Moodle affected by a code injection vulnerability IDs: CVE-2025-67847, GHSA-xvmh-25jw-gmmm Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2025-67847 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:35 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: High (CVSS 8.8) Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: moodle/moodle 5.1.1, 5.0.4, 4.5.8, 4.4.12, 4.1.22. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - Packagist moodle/moodle: affected >= 5.1.0-beta, < 5.1.1; >= 5.0.0-beta, < 5.0.4; >= 4.5.0-beta, < 4.5.8; >= 4.2.0-beta, < 4.4.12; < 4.1.22; fixed in 5.0.4, 4.4.12, 4.1.22, 5.1.1, 4.5.8 ## 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 - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-xvmh-25jw-gmmm (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-xvmh-25jw-gmmm lists affected ranges: Packagist moodle/moodle >=5.1.0-beta =5.0.0-beta =4.5.0-beta =4.2.0-beta =0 <4.1.22) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
