تحليل المخاطر الأمنية في النّظام Moodle كنظام تعليميّ إلكترونيّ مفتوح المصدر

Abstract

The widespread adoption of e-learning platforms in recent years, particularly during the pandemic, has led to growing concern about the security risks associated with online education. Open source e-learning platforms like Moodle are becoming increasingly popular because they provide many benefits, including cost savings and options for customization and modification in code to match the organization's need. However, these platforms may pose unique security risks due to their open-source nature and large developer community. This study aims to conduct a security risk analysis for the Moodle system, using NISTIR 8286 as a guideline. This research identifies the most significant security risks and vulnerabilities associated with the Moodle system, as well as simulating a security attack by applying it to a locally installed version of Moodle v.4.1. Teachers, administrators, and developers can use the results of this study to improve security in Moodle-based e-learning platforms, thereby reducing the risk of data breaches and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information.
