Blackboard Learning and Community Portal System in Academic Suite 6.3.1.424, 6.2.3.23, and other versions before 6 allows remote attackers to list all available categories via a blank category_id parameter to category.pl. NOTE: it is not clear whether this information is sensitive or not, so this might not be an exposure.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old Blackboard issue may let an unauthenticated remote user list available portal categories. The public record itself questions whether the exposed category list is sensitive, so business urgency depends on whether a legacy Blackboard instance is still running and whether category names reveal private operational or course information. Exposure appears limited to legacy Blackboard Academic Suite deployments matching the CVE description and exposing category.pl remotely. Modern or unsupported status is not established by the provided sources. Treat as a legacy exposure review, not an emergency, unless affected Blackboard systems are internet-facing or category names disclose sensitive institutional information. Mitigation focus: Inventory any remaining Blackboard Academic Suite 6.x systems.; Check Blackboard or successor vendor guidance for supported upgrade or remediation paths.; Restrict public access to legacy category.pl endpoints where business permits..
