CVE-2025-32044 is a vulnerability in Moodle where unauthenticated users can retrieve sensitive user data, including names, contact information, and hashed passwords, by triggering stack traces through specific API calls. The exposure occurs because stack traces inadvertently include sensitive arguments. Sites with PHP configured with zend.exception_ignore_args = 1 are not affected, as this setting prevents argument values from being included in stack traces.

Repository contains a standalone Python exploit/scanner for CVE-2025-32044 affecting Moodle LMS 4.5.0-4.5.2. Structure is minimal: one main Python script (cve_2025_32044.py), a README with vulnerability background and usage examples, and a requests-only requirements file. The script is not tied to a major exploit framework. Core purpose: identify Moodle instances, determine whether web services are exposed, optionally obtain a token from login/token.php using common service names, then send malformed requests to /webservice/rest/server.php using several wsfunction values to trigger internal exceptions. It parses JSON stack traces for leaked function arguments containing user records and password hashes. This makes it more than a detector: it actively attempts data extraction from vulnerable targets. Main capabilities visible from the code and README: - Single-target and multithreaded mass scanning - Moodle fingerprinting via /login/index.php, /lib/upgrade.txt, and /login/token.php - Web-service probing and token acquisition attempts - Exception-triggering REST requests using multiple candidate wsfunction payloads - Parsing and reporting of usernames, emails, full names, and bcrypt-style hashes - Optional output file support and debug/verbose modes The exploit is operational rather than weaponized: it includes concrete exploitation logic and data extraction, but it is a standalone script with hardcoded request patterns rather than a reusable framework module. The attack vector is remote web/network access to exposed Moodle endpoints.
