Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Mahara 1.4.x before 1.4.5 and 1.5.x before 1.5.4, and other versions including 1.2, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a CSV header with "unknown fields," which are not properly handled in error messages in the (1) bulk user, (2) group, and (3) group member upload capabilities. NOTE: this issue was originally part of CVE-2012-2243, but that ID was SPLIT due to different issues by different researchers.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Mahara 1.4.x before 1.4.5 and 1.5.x before 1.5.4 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors related to artefact/file/ and a crafted SVG file.

Mahara 1.4.x before 1.4.5 and 1.5.x before 1.5.4 allows remote attackers to conduct clickjacking attacks to delete arbitrary users and bypass CSRF protection via account/delete.php.

Mahara 1.4.x before 1.4.5 and 1.5.x before 1.5.4 allows remote authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary programs by modifying the path to clamav. NOTE: this can be exploited without authentication by leveraging CVE-2012-2243.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Mahara 1.4.x before 1.4.5 and 1.5.x before 1.5.4 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML by uploading an XML file with the xhtml extension, which is rendered inline as script. NOTE: this can be leveraged with CVE-2012-2244 to execute arbitrary code without authentication, as demonstrated by modifying the clamav path.

The default configuration of the auth/saml plugin in Mahara before 1.4.2 sets the "Match username attribute to Remote username" option to false, which allows remote SAML IdP servers to spoof users of other SAML IdP servers by using the same internal username.

Mahara before 1.4.1, when MNet (aka the Moodle network feature) is used, allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges via a jump to an XMLRPC target.

The "Reply to message" feature in Mahara 1.3.x and 1.4.x before 1.4.1 allows remote authenticated users to read the messages of a different user via a modified replyto parameter.

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Mahara before 1.4.1 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that add a user to an institution.

The get_dataroot_image_path function in lib/file.php in Mahara before 1.4.1 does not properly validate uploaded image files, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a (1) large or (2) invalid image.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Mahara before 1.4.1 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors related to (1) URI attributes and (2) the External Feed component, as demonstrated by the guid element in an RSS feed.
