Technical details

The core_grades_get_feedback web service in Moodle lacks group-membership and enrolment checks, validating only the gradereport/grader:view capability. A non-editing teacher without moodle/site:accessallgroups can iterate userid parameter values via AJAX to retrieve grade feedback, student names, picture URLs, and identity fields (such as email) for users in other course groups. The vulnerability exists because sibling web services received group-access controls in MSA-26-0016, but get_feedback.php was overlooked and remains unpatched.
