Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

The KSES text cleaning filter in lib/weblib.php in Moodle before 1.8.13 and 1.9.x before 1.9.9 does not properly handle vbscript URIs, which allows remote authenticated users to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via HTML input.
