CVE-2012-3390: lib/filelib.php in Moodle 2.1.x before 2.1.7 and 2.2.x before 2.2.4 does not properly restrict file access...

lib/filelib.php in Moodle 2.1.x before 2.1.7 and 2.2.x before 2.2.4 does not properly restrict file access after a block has been hidden, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information by reading a file that is embedded in a block.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This Moodle flaw could let a logged-in user read files embedded in a block after that block was hidden. The business risk is unintended disclosure of sensitive course or site content on older Moodle 2.1 and 2.2 installations. Exposure is most likely on legacy Moodle 2.1.x or 2.2.x systems that still host files embedded in blocks, especially where many users can authenticate. Unsupported or internet-facing Moodle instances deserve priority review. Treat as a targeted legacy-platform risk. It is not currently supported as actively exploited, but older Moodle systems containing sensitive learning or business files should be upgraded or retired promptly. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Moodle 2.1.x systems to 2.1.7 or later.; Upgrade affected Moodle 2.2.x systems to 2.2.4 or later.; Check Moodle vendor guidance and the referenced commit for exact remediation context..
