CVE-2015-3176
The account-confirmation feature in login/confirm.php in Moodle through 2.5.9, 2.6.x before 2.6.11, 2.7.x before 2.7.8, and 2.8.x before 2.8.6 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive full-name information by attempting to self-register.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.86%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
