Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability explicitly affects the core_course_get_categories web service endpoint. In Moodle's architecture, this web service is handled by the get_categories method in course/externallib.php. The description indicates missing visibility checks for hidden categories, which would be implemented in this function's category retrieval logic. While commit details are unavailable, the function's role in category fetching and the CWE-200 classification strongly implicate it as the vulnerable component.
