Unauthenticated user-data disclosure via REST API stack traces
Published Apr 25, 2025 · Updated Apr 25, 2025
Information disclosure in Moodle LMS 4.5.0 through 4.5.2 allows remote attackers to read sensitive user data via REST API errors. Specific API calls return exception stack traces whose captured arguments include user-table records, exposing names, contact details, hashed passwords, last-login IP addresses, and metadata. The flaw requires internal Moodle authentication and zend.exception_ignore_args disabled; no login or user interaction is required.
