VulnDex Beacon

The VulnDex Beacon for Moodle automatically collects version and system information and transmits it to the VulnDex platform. The aim is to provide a central overview of installed instances and to cross-reference them with known vulnerabilities (CVEs) at an early stage.

An active VulnDex subscription and API key is required.

Features

• Automatic detection of the Moodle version 
• Collection of installed apps and versions - Collection of installed themes and versions 
• Regular status reports to VulnDex 
• Centralised assignment to teams and services
•  Basis for continuous vulnerability monitoring 

How it works

The Beacon is installed as a local plugin in Moodle and sends data to the VulnDex API at defined intervals. The data is processed in VulnDex and enriched with up-to-date vulnerability information. This provides a continuous overview of affected systems.
