Overview

moodle/moodle is a learning platform.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure via the message/index.php endpoint. An attacker can obtain sensitive personal-contact and unread-message-count information by accessing arbitrary conversations with a modified URL. This is only exploitable if the attacker has the moodle/site:readallmessages capability.
