AI-suggested
This vulnerability is fixed in Chamilo LMS version 2.0.0-RC.3. Users should upgrade to this version or later to remediate the issue. Until upgraded, restricting access to trusted users and preventing session manipulation may reduce risk, but upgrading is the recommended and definitive mitigation.
Description
Chamilo LMS versions prior to 2.0.0-RC.3 contain an OS Command Injection vulnerability in the gradebook.ajax.php endpoint. The vulnerability arises because the course code from the session variable is directly concatenated into a shell_exec() command without proper sanitization. An attacker able to manipulate session data can inject shell metacharacters, leading to arbitrary command execution on the server. This can result in full system compromise, including reading sensitive files, altering the application or database, and disrupting server availability. The issue is fixed in version 2.
