AI-suggested
Organizations should immediately upgrade Chamilo LMS to version 1.11.36 or later, where the vulnerability is patched. Until upgrading is possible, implement strict input validation and sanitization on the date_start and date_end parameters at the web application firewall (WAF) or reverse proxy level to block malicious payloads. Enforce the principle of least privilege on database accounts used by Chamilo LMS to limit the impact of potential SQL injection. Monitor database and application logs for unusual query patterns or repeated failed attempts targeting the statistics AJAX endpoint. Employ multi-factor authentication (MFA) to reduce the risk of credential compromise, as exploitation requires authentication. Conduct regular security assessments and code reviews focusing on input handling and sanitization practices. Educate administrators and developers about secure coding standards to prevent similar vulnerabilities. Finally, isolate the LMS environment within secure network segments to reduce exposure.
Description
Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Version 1.11.34 and prior contains a SQL Injection vulnerability in the statistics AJAX endpoint. The parameters date_start and date_end from $_REQUEST are embedded directly into a raw SQL string without proper sanitization. Although Database::escape_string() is called downstream, its output is immediately neutralized by str_replace("\'", "'", ...), which restores any injected single quotes — effectively bypassing the escaping mechanism entirely. This allows an authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary SQL statements into the database query, enabling blind time-based and conditional data extraction. This issue has been patched in version 1.11.36.
