CVE-2013-1831: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

May 13, 2022 (updated January 22, 2024)

lib/setuplib.php in Moodle through 2.1.10, 2.2.x before 2.2.8, 2.3.x before 2.3.5, and 2.4.x before 2.4.2 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via an invalid request, which reveals the absolute path in an exception message.
