Summary
Moodle 4.2.0 through 4.5.15, 5.0.0 through 5.0.11, 5.1.0 through 5.1.8, 5.2.0 through 5.2.4 and 5.3.0 are affected. The core_grades_get_feedback web service lacks group-membership and enrolment checks, which is an authorization bypass through a user-controlled key (CWE-639). A non-editing teacher can read other groups' grade feedback and users' names and email addresses by changing userid values.

Description from the CNA
Moodle 4.2.0 through 4.5.15, 5.0.0 through 5.0.11, 5.1.0 through 5.1.8, 5.2.0 through 5.2.4, and 5.3.0 contain an information disclosure vulnerability in the core_grades_get_feedback web service. The service lacks group-membership and enrolment checks, so non-editing teachers can iterate userid values to read other groups' grade feedback and users' names and identity fields such as email.
