AI-suggested
Organizations should immediately upgrade Chamilo LMS to version 1.11.36 or later to apply the official patch addressing this vulnerability. Until the upgrade is completed, restrict Teacher role permissions to the minimum necessary, especially limiting access to the H5P Import feature. Implement strict monitoring and logging of file uploads and user activities related to H5P content. Conduct regular audits of uploaded H5P packages to detect suspicious files such as .htaccess or unexpected executable content. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to block unusual file upload patterns and execution of scripts with non-standard extensions. Additionally, enforce strong authentication controls, including multi-factor authentication for users with elevated privileges, to reduce the risk of credential compromise. Network segmentation and least privilege principles should be applied to limit the impact of potential exploitation. Finally, maintain regular backups of LMS data and configurations to enable rapid recovery in case of compromise.
Description
Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to version 1.11.36, an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the H5P Import feature allows authenticated users with Teacher role to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE). The H5P package validation only checks if h5p.json exists but doesn't block .htaccess or PHP files with alternative extensions. An attacker uploads a crafted H5P package containing a webshell and .htaccess that enables PHP execution for .txt files, bypassing security control. This issue has been patched in version 1.11.36.
