Updated

A flaw was found in the course overview output function where user access permissions were not fully enforced. This could allow unauthorized users to view information about courses they should not have access to, potentially exposing limited course details.

Other sources

Insufficient handling of access control checks in the courseoutputfragmentcourseoverview() function allows information about restricted courses to be returned to users lacking proper permissions. An attacker with a valid Moodle account could exploit this to view metadata about inaccessible courses.
