Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The LTI module in Moodle through 2.4.11, 2.5.x before 2.5.9, 2.6.x before 2.6.6, and 2.7.x before 2.7.3 does not properly restrict the parameters used in a return URL, which allows remote attackers to trigger the generation of arbitrary messages via a modified URL, related to mod/lti/locallib.php and mod/lti/return.php.
