The LAMS module (mod/lams) for Moodle 1.8 before 1.8.11 and 1.9 before 1.9.7 stores the (1) username, (2) firstname, and (3) lastname fields within the user table, which allows attackers to obtain user account information via unknown vectors.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old Moodle issue concerns the LAMS module exposing basic account information: usernames, first names, and last names. The cited record ties affected versions to Moodle 1.8 before 1.8.11 and 1.9 before 1.9.7. Business impact is mainly privacy, user enumeration, and increased phishing risk. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Moodle 1.8 or 1.9 deployments using the LAMS module. The bundle’s affected product metadata is incomplete, so confirm exposure from deployed Moodle versions and module inventory rather than relying on CPE matching. Treat this as a legacy-platform hygiene issue unless an exposed affected Moodle system is found. Prioritize remediation for internet-facing education portals because disclosed names and usernames can support account targeting, phishing, and privacy complaints. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Moodle 1.8 systems to 1.8.11 or later.; Upgrade Moodle 1.9 systems to 1.9.7 or later.; Check Moodle release notes and package advisories for vendor guidance..
