  2. Vulnerabilities (CVE)
  3. CVE-2025-34031
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the Moodle LMS Jmol plugin version 6.1 and prior via the query parameter in jsmol.php. The script directly passes user input to the file_get_contents() function without proper validation, allowing attackers to read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem by crafting a malicious query value. This vulnerability can be exploited without authentication and may expose sensitive configuration data, including database credentials. Exploitation evidence was observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2025-02-02 UTC.

Summary
  • (es) Existe una vulnerabilidad de path traversal en el complemento Moodle LMS Jmol versión 6.1 y anteriores mediante el parámetro de consulta en jsmol.php. El script pasa directamente la entrada del usuario a la función file_get_contents() sin la validación adecuada, lo que permite a los atacantes leer archivos arbitrarios del sistema de archivos del servidor mediante la manipulación de un valor de consulta malicioso. Esta vulnerabilidad puede explotarse sin autenticación y puede exponer datos de configuración confidenciales, incluidas las credenciales de la base de datos.
