E-learning gives the chance to scholar to act together electronically with each other as well as with their educators. This communication can be via SMS, e-mail or on conversation board or in chat rooms. Although identifying that the globe at large will persevere to utilize verbal communication and terminology in changed behaviour, so the word of virtual learning environments (VLE) is applied to consign to the web interactions of a multiplicity of kinds that have effect between students and instructors. There are several software systems existing that offer VLE systems. These software's take care in both the forms, commercial and open source software (OSS). Moodle is the one of these systems that has been progressively gaining worldwide attractiveness in e-learning system. LMS Moodle has much exposure like validation, ease of use, privacy and reliability attacks. So, it is required to develop a method that defends these security faults of LMS Moodle. We present mainly common security defects and propose best security settings of Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) LMS and the server itself. Particularly, we will target on authentication assault from the above pointed out faults. We additionally organize design and session assault. Design assault on Moodle can be largely considered as password forecast and user name forecast. Session assault on Moodle is session takeover. Moodle is an open source software e-learning podium that gives educators tools to build a course web site. Through the last few years, LMS Moodle forced itself as the best solution, and is appropriate one of the most frequent used systems. The open source teaching or learning management, LMS Moodle has been implemented by many individuals and organizations around the globe because it suggests a tightly included set of tools said to be considered from a social productive perspective. Moodle has been urbanized under the common public license and many of its workings were developed without a detailed design documents counting its security services. Object oriented model of Moodle via an analysis of its safety services as well as solutions to its precautions vulnerabilities.
