AI-suggested

This vulnerability is fixed in Chamilo LMS versions 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3. Users should upgrade to one of these versions or later to remediate the issue. Until patched, restrict teacher role assignments to trusted users only and avoid importing course backups from untrusted sources to reduce exploitation risk. Patch status is not explicitly stated beyond the fixed versions; therefore, verify with the vendor advisory for the latest remediation guidance.

Description

Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3, Chamilo LMS contains an OS Command Injection vulnerability in the file move function. The move() function in fileManage.lib.php passes user-controlled path values directly into exec() shell commands without using escapeshellarg(). When a user moves a document via document.php, the move_to POST parameter — which only passes through Security::remove_XSS() (an HTML-only filter) — is concatenated directly into shell commands such as exec("mv $source $target"). By default, Chamilo allows all authenticated users to create courses (allow_users_to_create_courses = true). Any user who is a teacher in a course (including self-created courses) can move documents, making this vulnerability exploitable by any authenticated user. The attacker must first place a directory with shell metacharacters in its name on the filesystem (achievable via Course Backup Import), then move a document into that directory to trigger arbitrary command execution as the web server user (www-data). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3.
