Vulnerabilities

Chamilo LMS is an open-source learning management system. In versions prior to 2.0.0-RC.3, an OS Command Injection vulnerability exists in the main/inc/ajax/gradebook.ajax.php endpoint within the export_all_certificates action, where the course code retrieved from the session variable $_SESSION['_cid'] via api_get_course_id() is concatenated directly into a shell_exec() command string without sanitization or escaping using escapeshellarg(). If an attacker can manipulate or poison their session data to inject shell metacharacters into the _cid variable, they can achieve arbitrary command execution on the underlying server. Successful exploitation grants full access to read system files and credentials, alters the application and database, or disrupts server availability. This issue has been fixed in version 2.0.0-RC.3.

Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3, the default password reset mechanism generates tokens using sha1($email) with no random component, no expiration, and no rate limiting. An attacker who knows a user's email can compute the reset token and change the victim's password without authentication. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3.

Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to version 1.11.34, there is an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the custom_dates parameter. By chaining this with a predictable legacy password reset mechanism, an attacker can achieve full administrative account takeover without any prior credentials. The vulnerability also exposes the entire database, including PII and system configurations. This issue has been patched in version 1.11.34.

Chamilo is a learning management system. Prior to version 1.11.34, there is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. By injecting malicious JavaScript into the course learning path Settings field, an attacker with a low-privileged account (e.g., trainer) can execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of any other user viewing the course information page, including administrators. This allows an attacker to exfiltrate sensitive session cookies or tokens, resulting in account takeover (ATO) of higher-privileged users. This issue has been patched in version 1.11.34.

Chamilo is a learning management system. Versions prior to 1.11.34 have a Stored XSS through insecure file uploads in `Social Networks`. Through it, a low-privilege user can execute arbitrary code in the admin user inbox, allowing takeover of the admin account. Version 1.11.34 fixes the issue.

Chamilo is a learning management system. Prior to version 1.11.30, in the application, deserialization of data is performed, the data can be spoofed. An attacker can create objects of arbitrary classes, as well as fully control their properties, and thus modify the logic of the web application's operation. This issue has been patched in version 1.11.30.
