Description Robb Gatica 2024-06-12 15:50:04 UTC

The cURL wrapper in Moodle retained the original request headers when following redirects, so HTTP authorization header information could be unintentionally sent in requests to redirect URLs.

Issue summary: HTTP authorization header is preserved between "emulated redirects"
Severity/Risk: Minor
Versions affected: 4.4, 4.3 to 4.3.4, 4.2 to 4.2.7, 4.1 to 4.1.10 and earlier unsupported versions
Versions fixed: 4.4.1, 4.3.5, 4.2.8 and 4.1.11
