Moodle 4.5 (LTS) Support: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Moodle 4.5 (LTS) still supported?
Yes. The Moodle 4.5 (LTS) is currently supported by Moodle, and third-party support is available as an alternative — issue management, vulnerability remediation, and compliance help independent of the vendor contract.
When is the Moodle 4.5 (LTS) end of service life (EOSL) date?
Moodle lists the end of service life for the Moodle 4.5 (LTS) as Oct 4, 2027.
Can I keep using the Moodle 4.5 (LTS) 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 4.5 (LTS) 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.
Known Vulnerabilities Affecting Moodle 4.5 (LTS)
46 published CVEs affect the Moodle 4.5 (LTS), including 17 rated critical or high severity. Our 24/7 engineers help you assess exposure, prioritize fixes and apply available patches.
| CVE | Severity | CVSS | Published | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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-2025-26525 | HIGH | 8.6 | Feb 24, 2025 | Insufficient sanitizing in the TeX notation filter resulted in an arbitrary file read risk on sites where pdfTeX is available (such as those with TeX Live installed). |
| CVE-2025-26530 | HIGH | 8.3 | Feb 24, 2025 | The question bank filter required additional sanitizing to prevent a reflected XSS risk. |
| CVE-2025-26529 | HIGH | 8.3 | Feb 24, 2025 | Description information displayed in the site administration live log required additional sanitizing to prevent a stored XSS 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-2025-26533 | HIGH | 8.1 | Feb 24, 2025 | An SQL injection risk was identified in the module list filter within course search. |
| 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-2025-62399 | HIGH | 7.5 | Oct 23, 2025 | Moodle’s mobile and web service authentication endpoints did not sufficiently restrict repeated password attempts, making them susceptible to brute-force attacks. |
| CVE-2025-32044 | HIGH | 7.5 | Apr 25, 2025 | A flaw has been identified in Moodle where, on certain sites, unauthenticated users could retrieve sensitive user data—including names, contact information, and hashed passwords—via stack traces returned by specific API calls. Sites with PHP configured with zend.exception_ignore_args = 1 in the php.ini file are not affected by this vulnerability. |
| CVE-2025-67850 | HIGH | 7.3 | Feb 3, 2026 | A flaw was found in moodle. This vulnerability, known as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), occurs due to insufficient checks on user-provided data in the formula editor's arithmetic expression fields. A remote attacker could inject malicious code into these fields. When other users view these expressions, the malicious code would execute in their web browsers, potentially compromising their data or leading to unauthorized actions. |
| CVE-2025-67849 | HIGH | 7.3 | Feb 3, 2026 | A flaw was found in Moodle. This cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability, caused by improper sanitization of AI prompt responses, allows attackers to inject malicious HTML or script into web pages. When other users view these compromised pages, their sessions could be stolen, or the user interface could be manipulated. |
| CVE-2026-26046 | HIGH | 7.2 | Feb 21, 2026 | A vulnerability was found in a Moodle TeX filter administrative setting where insufficient sanitization of configuration input could allow command injection. On sites where the TeX filter is enabled and ImageMagick is installed, a maliciously crafted setting value entered by an administrator could result in unintended system command execution. While exploitation requires administrative privileges, successful compromise could affect the entire Moodle server. |
| CVE-2026-26045 | HIGH | 7.2 | Feb 21, 2026 | A flaw was identified in Moodle’s backup restore functionality where specially crafted backup files were not properly validated during processing. If a malicious backup file is restored, it could lead to unintended execution of server-side code. Since restore capabilities are typically available to privileged users, exploitation requires authenticated access. Successful exploitation could result in full compromise of the Moodle server. |
| CVE-2025-3625 | HIGH | 7.1 | Apr 25, 2025 | A security vulnerability was discovered in Moodle that can allow hackers to gain access to sensitive information about students and prevent them from logging into their accounts, even after they had completed two-factor authentication (2FA). |
| CVE-2026-26047 | MEDIUM | 6.5 | Feb 21, 2026 | A denial-of-service vulnerability was identified in Moodle’s TeX formula editor. When rendering TeX content using mimetex, insufficient execution time limits could allow specially crafted formulas to consume excessive server resources. An authenticated user could abuse this behavior to degrade performance or cause service interruption. |
| CVE-2025-26526 | MEDIUM | 6.5 | Feb 24, 2025 | Separate Groups mode restrictions were not factored into permission checks before allowing viewing or deletion of responses in Feedback activities. |
| CVE-2025-67851 | MEDIUM | 6.1 | Feb 3, 2026 | A flaw was found in moodle. This formula injection vulnerability occurs when data fields are exported without proper escaping. A remote attacker could exploit this by providing malicious data that, when exported and opened in a spreadsheet, allows arbitrary formulas to execute. This can lead to compromised data integrity and unintended operations within the spreadsheet. |
