When Moodle and IOMAD versions go end-of-life, the CVEs don’t stop.
Supported Versions: Moodle 4.3, IOMAD 4.3
Ongoing, SLA-backed security patches for anyone still running Moodle 4.3 or IOMAD 4.3, starting with backports for every known post-EOL vulnerability. Organizations stay secure and compliant while they schedule the upgrade on their own timetable.
TRUSTED BY ENTERPRISE

Security, compliance, and continuity – solved together
With our secure drop-in replacement for Moodle 4.3 and IOMAD 4.3, your scanners stop flagging CVEs in end-of-life Moodle versions for good.
Security
A new release ships each time a Moodle CVE affecting 4.3.x is found, validated, and back ported to the 4.3.12 baseline, developed by engineers with deep expertise in Moodle core and IOMAD.
A fix for every applicable Moodle vulnerability
HeroDevs is an authorized CVE Numbering Authority and discloses discovered vulnerabilities
Compliance
Once installed, scanners stop flagging Moodle or IOMAD 4.3 CVEs because the platform is actively patched and commercially supported, turning open audit findings into closed ones.
SOC 2, GDPR, NIS2, EU Cyber Resilience Act, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and more
Documented patch history for auditors
Business continuity
A true drop-in replacement. Same database schema, plugins, themes, and integrations, installed like a normal Moodle point upgrade. Schedule the move to 4.5 or 5.x between terms or certification cycles.
Months or years of runway to upgrade right
A fraction of the cost of a rushed upgrade or a breach
Why Teams Choose NES.
HeroDevs delivers CVE fixes at all severity levels with committed SLAs tied to severity, and is an authorized CVE Numbering Authority.

Serious-Rated Vulnerabilities With No 4.3 Patch.
If you're running EOL Moodle or IOMAD today, your applications are exposed to the vulnerabilities below.
Moodle 4.3 has not received a fix to any vulnerability since April 2025
Moodle 4.3 shipped in October 2023, received its final security release in April 2025, and then aged out. The backlog of CVEs and Security advisories grows and are not tested or fixed for v4.3.
Weaponized quickly
Unpatched CVEs can be exploited resulting on a breach or cyberattack.
An audit problem
Internal audits or frameworks and regulation such as SOC 2, GDPR, NIS2, and the EU CRA require vulnerability-management controls. Unpatched CVEs fail compliance.
Upgrades take months
Moodle major upgrades could be complex. For a heavily customized deployment, a 4.3 to 4.5 move is a project measured in months.
Multi-Tenant Moodle Is Covered Too.
IOMAD is the multi-tenant Moodle distribution, widely used by training providers, franchise operations, and corporate L&D teams that serve many client organizations from one platform. Because IOMAD is built directly on Moodle core, every Moodle core vulnerability above flows through to IOMAD 4.3.
A single IOMAD instance often hosts dozens of tenant organizations, so one unpatched remote code execution vulnerability has a multi-tenant blast radius: one compromise, many affected customers.
Reconciled against IOMAD core
Each Moodle 4.3 backport is reconciled against IOMAD's core modifications.
Same delivery, same evidence
The same delivery channel, the same CVE-mapped release notes, and the same drop-in compatibility with an existing IOMAD 4.3 deployment.
A defensible answer for every standard, framework, or regulation.
An end-of-life Moodle or IOMAD site undermines patch-management expectations across regulations worldwide. NES gives you a maintained, vendor-backed Moodle 4.3 with committed SLAs and CVE-mapped release notes to show auditors and regulators.
FERPA
Institutions must use reasonable methods to protect student education records. An LMS holding grades and enrollment data with no security patches is hard to defend. NES keeps Moodle 4.3 patched.
GDPR
Article 32 expects "state of the art" technical measures. Running an unsupported Moodle holding learner personal data is difficult to defend after a breach. NES keeps the platform maintained.
SOC 2
Trust Services Criteria expect timely vulnerability remediation and patch management. An EOL Moodle with no security patches translates to failing controls.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022
Vulnerability and configuration management controls require addressing technical vulnerabilities. NES restores control posture with patch availability for Moodle 4.3.
Cyber Resilience Act
Requires vulnerabilities in products and their components to be handled effectively during the support period. NES keeps Moodle and IOMAD components covered.
NIST CSF 2.0
PR.PS-02 requires organizations to maintain or remove vulnerable software based on risk. NES enables compliance without a forced upgrade.
UK GDPR & Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials requires supported software with high and critical fixes applied within 14 days. NES puts Moodle 4.3 back in scope.
Commercial Contracts
Corporate training and IOMAD tenants often contractually prohibit unsupported software. NES provides the vendor-backed answer their policies require.
