CVE-2015-5268: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

May 13, 2022 (updated January 26, 2024)

The rating component in Moodle through 2.6.11, 2.7.x before 2.7.10, 2.8.x before 2.8.8, and 2.9.x before 2.9.2 mishandles group-based authorization checks, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information by reading a rating value.
