NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream moodle package and not the moodle package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The Multi-Authentication feature in the Central Authentication Service (CAS) functionality in auth/cas/cas_form.html in Moodle 2.1.x before 2.1.6 and 2.2.x before 2.2.3 does not use HTTPS, which allows remote attackers to obtain credentials by sniffing the network.
