In Moodle before 2.6.4, it was possible for manipulated XML files passed from LTI servers to be interpreted by Moodle to allow access to server-side files (CVE-2014-3542). In Moodle before 2.6.4, it was possible for manipulated XML files to be uploaded to the IMSCC course format or the IMSCP resource to allow access to server-side files (CVE-2014-3543). In Moodle before 2.6.4, filtering of the Skype profile field was not removing potentially harmful code (CVE-2014-3544). In Moodle before 2.6.4, it was possible to inject code into Calculated questions that would be executed on the server (CVE-2014-3545). In Moodle before 2.6.4, it was possible to get limited user information, such as user name and courses, by manipulating the URL of profile and notes pages (CVE-2014-3546).
