CVE-2016-2156: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

May 13, 2022 (updated January 26, 2024)

calendar/externallib.php in Moodle through 2.6.11, 2.7.x before 2.7.13, 2.8.x before 2.8.11, 2.9.x before 2.9.5, and 3.0.x before 3.0.3 provides calendar-event data without considering whether an activity is hidden, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information via a web-service request.
