The moodle1 backup converter in backup/converter/moodle1/lib.php in Moodle 2.1.x before 2.1.10, 2.2.x before 2.2.7, 2.3.x before 2.3.4, and 2.4.x before 2.4.1 does not properly validate pathnames, which allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files by leveraging the backup-restoration feature.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-6099 is a Moodle file disclosure flaw. Authenticated users could abuse the Moodle 1 backup conversion and restoration path to read files they should not access. The issue affects older Moodle 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4 releases before named fixed versions. Exposure is most likely on legacy Moodle sites running affected 2.x versions with authenticated users able to use backup or restoration features. Prioritize remediation for any legacy Moodle system containing student, staff, course, or credential-adjacent data. This is not KEV-listed in the provided sources, but arbitrary file read on an authenticated web platform warrants timely upgrade or isolation. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Moodle branches to the fixed version or later.; Review Moodle guidance linked from the vendor advisory before changing production systems.; Restrict backup and restore capabilities to trusted administrators until upgraded..
