AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 16, 2026

Authentication bypass in the Microsoft 365 / Microsoft Entra ID (local_o365) plugin for Moodle allows an unauthenticated attacker to forge a JWT and log in as any Office 365-linked Moodle user before versions 4.5.6, 5.0.5, and 5.1.1. The Teams SSO endpoint sso_login.php base64-decodes the JWT payload and trusts the 'upn' claim without verifying the token signature, so a self-signed or hand-crafted token is accepted as valid. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not in CISA KEV, but the flaw is trivially exploitable and confirmed by a Microsoft GitHub security advisory (GHSA-hqjh-93qv-47v5).

DescriptionCVE.org

The Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Entra ID Plugins for Moodle provide Office 365 and Azure Active Directory integration for Moodle. Prior to 4.5.6, 5.0.5, and 5.1.1, the Microsoft Office 365 Integration plugin local_o365 Teams SSO endpoint sso_login.php base64-decodes a JWT payload and authenticates users from the upn claim without verifying the JWT signature, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to forge a token and obtain a Moodle session as an O365-authenticated user. This issue is fixed in versions 4.5.6, 5.0.5, and 5.1.1.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A critical vulnerability in the Microsoft 365 integration plugin for Moodle allows unauthenticated attackers to forge authentication tokens and gain unauthorized access to any Office 365-linked user account. Moodle installations running versions prior to 4.5.6, 5.0.5, or 5.1.1 face immediate risk of unauthorized account takeover, unauthorized access to institutional data, and compliance violations.

Recommended Action

Within 24 hours, identify all Moodle deployments running the local_o365 (Microsoft 365/Entra ID) plugin and determine which are running affected versions (Moodle 4.5.5 and earlier, 5.0.4 and earlier, or 5.1.0 and earlier). Within 7 days, apply the vendor patch by upgrading affected Moodle instances to versions 4.5.6, 5.0.5, or 5.1.1 or later according to your current version line. Within 30 days, complete patch deployment across all Moodle systems and verify user authentication flows are functional through the updated Microsoft 365 plugin.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Vendor-released patch: Moodle 4.5.6, 5.0.5, and 5.1.1 or later. Pending patch deployment, immediately restrict network access to the sso_login.php endpoint via firewall rules and disable the Microsoft 365 SSO plugin if alternative authentication methods are available.
