PHP vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

A security vulnerability was identified in Moodle (CVE-2024-45689) where dynamic tables failed to enforce proper capability checks. This vulnerability allowed users to access and retrieve information they did not have permission to access. The issue was disclosed on November 20, 2024 (NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from insufficient implementation of capability checks in Moodle's dynamic tables functionality. The flaw has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 6.5 (MEDIUM) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, indicating that it requires low privilege level to exploit and can lead to high confidentiality impact (NVD).

Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthorized users to retrieve sensitive information they should not have access to through the dynamic tables feature. This represents a significant confidentiality breach as it bypasses the intended access control mechanisms (Redhat Bugzilla).
