Moodle 3.8 Support: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Moodle 3.8 still supported?
Moodle ended support for the Moodle 3.8 on May 10, 2021 — no more patches or fixes from the vendor. Third-party support keeps it covered: our engineers manage issues, remediate vulnerabilities, and help you maintain compliance for as long as you run it.
When is the Moodle 3.8 end of service life (EOSL) date?
Moodle lists the end of service life for the Moodle 3.8 as May 10, 2021.
Can I keep using the Moodle 3.8 after its EOSL date?
Yes. EOSL means Moodle stops issuing patches and support — the software itself keeps running. Third-party support covers it from there: issue management, security vulnerability remediation, and the compliance documentation auditors ask for, for as long as you choose to run it.
How much does third-party support for the Moodle 3.8 cost?
Typically 40-70% below the OEM maintenance renewal price. Exact pricing depends on quantity, service level and location — request a quote and we respond within 24 hours.

| CVE | Severity | CVSS | Published | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2021-36394 | CRITICAL | 9.8 | Mar 6, 2023 | In Moodle, a remote code execution risk was identified in the Shibboleth authentication plugin. |
| CVE-2021-36393 | CRITICAL | 9.8 | Mar 6, 2023 | In Moodle, an SQL injection risk was identified in the library fetching a user's recent courses. |
| CVE-2021-36392 | CRITICAL | 9.8 | Mar 6, 2023 | In Moodle, an SQL injection risk was identified in the library fetching a user's enrolled courses. |
| CVE-2022-45152 | CRITICAL | 9.1 | Nov 25, 2022 | A blind Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability was found in Moodle. This flaw exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in LTI provider library. The library does not utilise Moodle's inbuilt cURL helper, which resulted in a blind SSRF risk. An attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks. |
| CVE-2025-67847 | HIGH | 8.8 | Jan 23, 2026 | A flaw was found in Moodle. An attacker with access to the restore interface could trigger server-side execution of arbitrary code. This is due to insufficient validation of restore input, which leads to unintended interpretation by core restore routines. Successful exploitation could result in a full compromise of the Moodle application. |
| CVE-2025-3642 | HIGH | 8.8 | Apr 25, 2025 | A flaw was found in Moodle. A remote code execution risk was identified in the Moodle LMS EQUELLA repository. By default, this was only available to teachers and managers on sites with the EQUELLA repository enabled. |
| CVE-2025-3641 | HIGH | 8.8 | Apr 25, 2025 | A flaw was found in Moodle. A remote code execution risk was identified in the Moodle LMS Dropbox repository. By default, this was only available to teachers and managers on sites with the Dropbox repository enabled. |
| CVE-2025-3638 | HIGH | 8.8 | Apr 25, 2025 | A flaw was found in Moodle. The analysis request action in the Brickfield tool did not include the necessary token to prevent a Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) risk. |
| CVE-2024-38276 | HIGH | 8.8 | Jun 18, 2024 | Incorrect CSRF token checks resulted in multiple CSRF risks. |
| CVE-2020-14321 | HIGH | 8.8 | Aug 16, 2022 | In Moodle before 3.9.1, 3.8.4, 3.7.7 and 3.5.13, teachers of a course were able to assign themselves the manager role within that course. |
| CVE-2022-0335 | HIGH | 8.8 | Jan 25, 2022 | A flaw was found in Moodle in versions 3.11 to 3.11.4, 3.10 to 3.10.8, 3.9 to 3.9.11 and earlier unsupported versions. The "delete badge alignment" functionality did not include the necessary token check to prevent a CSRF risk. |
| CVE-2021-43559 | HIGH | 8.8 | Nov 22, 2021 | A flaw was found in Moodle in versions 3.11 to 3.11.3, 3.10 to 3.10.7, 3.9 to 3.9.10 and earlier unsupported versions. The "delete related badge" functionality did not include the necessary token check to prevent a CSRF risk. |
| CVE-2020-25629 | HIGH | 8.8 | Dec 8, 2020 | A vulnerability was found in Moodle where users with "Log in as" capability in a course context (typically, course managers) may gain access to some site administration capabilities by "logging in as" a System manager. This affects 3.9 to 3.9.1, 3.8 to 3.8.4, 3.7 to 3.7.7, 3.5 to 3.5.13 and earlier unsupported versions. This is fixed in 3.9.2, 3.8.5, 3.7.8 and 3.5.14. |
| CVE-2024-34001 | HIGH | 8.4 | May 31, 2024 | Actions in the admin preset tool did not include the necessary token to prevent a CSRF risk. |
| CVE-2025-67848 | HIGH | 8.1 | Feb 3, 2026 | A flaw was found in Moodle. This authentication bypass vulnerability allows suspended users to authenticate through the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) Provider. The issue arises from the LTI authentication handlers failing to enforce the user's suspension status, enabling unauthorized access to the system. This can lead to information disclosure or other unauthorized actions by users who should be restricted. |
| CVE-2024-43434 | HIGH | 8.1 | Nov 7, 2024 | The bulk message sending feature in Moodle's Feedback module's non-respondents report had an incorrect CSRF token check, leading to a CSRF vulnerability. |
| CVE-2024-43425 | HIGH | 8.1 | Nov 7, 2024 | A flaw was found in Moodle. Additional restrictions are required to avoid a remote code execution risk in calculated question types. Note: This requires the capability to add/update questions. |
| CVE-2024-43428 | HIGH | 7.7 | Nov 7, 2024 | To address a cache poisoning risk in Moodle, additional validation for local storage was required. |
| CVE-2025-67853 | HIGH | 7.5 | Feb 3, 2026 | A flaw was found in Moodle. A remote attacker could exploit a lack of proper rate limiting in the confirmation email service. This vulnerability allows attackers to more easily enumerate or guess user credentials, facilitating brute-force attacks against user accounts. |
| CVE-2024-45690 | HIGH | 7.5 | Nov 20, 2024 | A flaw was found in Moodle. Additional checks were required to ensure users can only delete their OAuth2-linked accounts. |
