The installer code is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting, letting you inject JavaScript and steal cookies. The XSS can only be triggered if there's a not installed moodle, so this can be considered low impact. Still it's possible to attack if an attacker knows from another person installing moodle. Sample code Sample XSS code: <form method="post" action="http://localhost/moodle/install.php";> <input type="hidden" name="stage" value="3"> <input type="text" name="dbname" value='"><script>alert(1)</script>'> <input type=submit> </form> Workaround/Fix Update to 1.8.4.
