ATutor gradebook page lets privileged users run code

CVE-2015-7712 · published 10 years ago
Summary

The gradebook editing screen in ATutor versions up to 2.2 lets anyone who can log in and has the gradebook permission add specially crafted data that makes the server run their own code. This could let an attacker take control of the web server or steal data. Apply the latest ATutor security update or restrict gradebook access to trusted users until you can upgrade.
