AI-suggested
Upgrade Chamilo LMS to version 1.11.38 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Remove or restrict access to the main/install/ directory if upgrading is not immediately possible.

Description
Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to 1.11.38, a chained attack can enable otherwise-blocked PHP code from the main/install/ directory and allow an unauthenticated attacker to modify existing files or create new files where allowed by system permissions. This only affects portals with the main/install/ directory still present and read-accessible. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.11.38.
