AI-suggested

Upgrade Chamilo LMS to version 2.0.0-RC.3 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. If upgrading immediately is not possible, restrict admin access tightly to trusted users to prevent code injection. Monitor for any suspicious activity related to the /platform-config/list endpoint. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed beyond the version fix, so consult the vendor advisory for the latest remediation guidance.

Description

Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to .0.0-RC.3, the PlatformConfigurationController::decodeSettingArray() method uses PHP's eval() to parse platform settings from the database. An attacker with admin access (obtainable via Advisory 1) can inject arbitrary PHP code into the settings, which is then executed when any user (including unauthenticated) requests /platform-config/list. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.0.0-RC.3.
