CVE-2026-102580: Moodle: arbitrary class instantiation via report builder audience classname
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 17/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.23% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: git.moodle.org moodle 4.5.13, 5.0.9, 5.1.6.
- Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 2.2, NVD 4.3.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to git.moodle.org moodle 4.5.13, 5.0.9, 5.1.6 or later.
