What is CVE-2018-16854?

A vulnerability exists in various versions of Moodle, where the login form lacks a proper token to prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. This oversight allows malicious actors to exploit the login functionality, potentially gaining unauthorized access to users' accounts. The issue affects multiple versions, including 3.5 up to 3.5.2, 3.4 up to 3.4.5, 3.3 up to 3.3.8, and 3.1 up to 3.1.14. Users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest versions—3.6, 3.5.3, 3.4.6, 3.3.9, and 3.1.15—where this flaw has been addressed and a secure login process has been re-established.
