AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately upgrade Chamilo LMS to version 1.11.30 or later, where the vulnerability is patched. Until patching is possible, restrict access to the /plugin/vchamilo/views/import.php endpoint using network-level controls such as firewalls or web application firewalls (WAFs) to block unauthorized POST requests. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on any custom integrations interacting with Chamilo LMS. Monitor web server and application logs for unusual POST requests targeting the vulnerable parameters (configuration_file, course_path, home_path). Employ runtime application self-protection (RASP) or intrusion detection systems (IDS) to detect and block deserialization attack patterns. Educate administrators about the risks of deserialization vulnerabilities and ensure secure coding practices are followed in any custom plugin development. Regularly audit and update all LMS components to minimize exposure to known vulnerabilities.

Description

Chamilo is a learning management system. Prior to version 1.11.30, Chamilo is vulnerable to deserialization of untrusted data in /plugin/vchamilo/views/import.php via POST configuration_file; POST course_path; POST home_path parameters. This issue has been patched in version 1.11.30.
