AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-50189, organizations should immediately upgrade Chamilo LMS to version 1.11.30 or later, where the vulnerability is patched. Until the upgrade is applied, implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, particularly POST parameters related to course copying and login processes. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the vulnerable endpoints. Conduct thorough code reviews and penetration testing focused on SQL injection vectors within the LMS. Limit database user privileges associated with the LMS to the minimum necessary to reduce potential damage from injection attacks. Monitor logs for suspicious SQL query patterns or anomalies indicative of injection attempts. Educate administrators and developers about secure coding practices and the importance of timely patching. Finally, maintain regular backups of LMS data to enable recovery in case of data corruption or loss due to exploitation.

Description

Chamilo is a learning management system. Prior to version 1.11.30, the application performs insufficient validation of data coming from the user from the POST resource[document][SQL_INJECTION_HERE] and POST login parameters found in /main/coursecopy/copy_course_session_selected.php, which allows an attacker to perform an attack aimed at modifying the database query logic by injecting an arbitrary SQL statements. This issue has been patched in version 1.11.30.
