In Mahara before 20.10.5, 21.04.4, 21.10.2, and 22.04.0, a site using Isolated Institutions is vulnerable if more than ten groups are used. They are all shown from page 2 of the group results list (rather than only being shown for the institution that the viewer is a member of).

Mahara before 20.10.5, 21.04.4, 21.10.2, and 22.04.0 allows stored XSS when a particular Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) class for embedly is used, and JavaScript code is constructed to perform an action.

Mahara before 20.10.5, 21.04.4, 21.10.2, and 22.04.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) because randomly generated tokens are too easily guessable.

In Mahara before 20.04.5, 20.10.3, 21.04.2, and 21.10.0, the account associated with a web services token is vulnerable to being exploited and logged into, resulting in information disclosure (at a minimum) and often escalation of privileges.

In Mahara before 20.04.5, 20.10.3, 21.04.2, and 21.10.0, exported CSV files could contain characters that a spreadsheet program could interpret as a command, leading to execution of a malicious string locally on a device, aka CSV injection.

Cross-site Scripting (XSS) in Mahara before 1.5.9 and 1.6.x before 1.6.4 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the TinyMCE editor.

An issue was discovered in Mahara before 18.10.0. It mishandled user requests that could discontinue a user's ability to maintain their own account (changing username, changing primary email address, deleting account). The correct behavior was to either prompt them for their password and/or send a warning to their primary email address.

Mahara before 1.5.13, 1.6.x before 1.6.8, and 1.7.x before 1.7.4 does not properly restrict access to folders, which allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary folders (1) by leveraging an active folder tab loaded before permissions were removed or (2) via the folder parameter to artefact/file/groupfiles.php.

Mahara before 1.5.12, 1.6.x before 1.6.7, and 1.7.x before 1.7.3 does not properly prevent access to blocks, which allows remote authenticated users to modify arbitrary blocks via the bock id in an edit request.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Mahara before 1.5.12, 1.6.x before 1.6.7, and 1.7.x before 1.7.3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the Host header to lib/web.php.

Mahara before 1.5.12, 1.6.x before 1.6.7, and 1.7.x before 1.7.3 does not properly restrict access to artefacts, which allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary artefacts via the (1) artefact id in an upload action when creating a journal or (2) instconf_artefactid_selected[ID] parameter in an upload action when editing a block.

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 group/members.php in Mahara 1.5.x before 1.5.7 and 1.6.x before 1.6.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the query parameter.

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.

Mahara 1.4.x before 1.4.4 and 1.5.x before 1.5.3 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files or create TCP connections via an XML external entity (XXE) injection attack, as demonstrated by reading config.php.
