- 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: 0.19% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: git.moodle.org moodle 4.5.13, 5.0.9, 5.1.6.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
A flaw was found in Moodle. The XML grade import feature lacks proper Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) token validation. By tricking an authenticated user with grade management permissions into visiting a malicious webpage, an attacker can trigger unauthorized requests on the victim's behalf. This flaw allows a remote attacker to set or overwrite student grades without authorization.
