## Description

badges/external.php in Moodle 2.5.x before 2.5.2 does not properly handle
an object obtained by unserializing a description of an external badge,
which allows remote attackers to conduct PHP object injection attacks via
unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by overwriting the value of the userid
parameter.
