NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream moodle package and not the moodle package as distributed by Ubuntu.

lib/classes/grades_external.php in Moodle 2.7.x before 2.7.3 does not consider the moodle/grade:viewhidden capability before displaying hidden grades, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging the student role to access the get_grades web service.
