CVE-2011-0439
A security review commissioned by a Mahara user discovered that
Mahara processes unsanitized input which can lead to cross-site
scripting (XSS).
CVE-2011-0440
Mahara Developers discovered that Mahara doesn't check the session
key under certain circumstances which can be exploited as
cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and can lead to the deletion of
blogs.
