CVE-2015-2270: Moodle allows attackers to obtain sensitive course information

May 13, 2022 (updated January 25, 2024)

lib/moodlelib.php in Moodle through 2.5.9, 2.6.x before 2.6.9, 2.7.x before 2.7.6, and 2.8.x before 2.8.4, when the theme uses the blocks-regions feature, establishes the course state at an incorrect point in the login-validation process, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive course information via unspecified vectors.
