CVE-2011-4279: Moodle 2.0.x before 2.0.2 does not use the forceloginforprofiles setting for course-profiles access control...

Moodle 2.0.x before 2.0.2 does not use the forceloginforprofiles setting for course-profiles access control, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information via vectors involving use of a search engine, as demonstrated by the search functionality of Google, Yahoo!, Wrensoft Zoom, MSN, Yandex, and AltaVista.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Moodle 2.0 sites could expose course profile information even when administrators enabled forced login for profiles. Search engines could index pages that should have required authentication, making sensitive course-related information easier to discover. The available sources identify Moodle 2.0.x before 2.0.2 as affected. Exposure is most likely on internet-reachable Moodle 2.0.x installations below 2.0.2, especially where course profiles are enabled and administrators expected profile access to require login. Treat this as a privacy and information exposure issue, not a remote code execution emergency. Prioritize any public legacy Moodle 2.0 deployment because search indexing can extend exposure beyond the application itself. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Moodle 2.0.x instances to 2.0.2 or later supported releases.; Review Moodle vendor guidance and the linked fix before changing production settings.; Restrict unauthenticated access to course profile pages where feasible..
