While no major security incidents have been widely documented, the project maintains a moderate CVE count with five records to date. Moodle's security posture is characterized by regular security updates and a responsive disclosure process, though its extensive customization options and third-party plugin ecosystem can introduce additional attack vectors if not properly maintained.
