Exploitation Conditions

Remote unauthenticated attacker crafts a malicious URL with controlled session ID parameters targeting main/lp/aicc_hacp.php in Chamilo LMS versions before 1.11.38 or 2.0.0-RC.3. Victim must click the link. Requires victim to subsequently authenticate for session fixation impact.

Impact

Session fixation in Chamilo LMS affects unauthenticated users via network access but requires user interaction and high attack complexity. CVSS 7.5 reflects high confidentiality/integrity impact. No KEV or EPSS data available; remediation is available in patched versions 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3. Priority depends on deployment prevalence and patch adoption rates.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

Attacker crafts malicious link with fixed session ID in request parameter to main/lp/aicc_hacp.php. When victim clicks link, their session is set to attacker-controlled ID, enabling account hijacking or unauthorized access to learning records. User interaction required; no public exploit code identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Apr 10, 2026

Session fixation in Chamilo LMS versions prior to 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3 enables unauthenticated remote attackers to hijack user sessions via main/lp/aicc_hacp.php. User-controlled request parameters directly manipulate PHP session IDs before application bootstrap, allowing attackers to force victims into attacker-controlled sessions. Successful exploitation grants high-severity access to confidential data and platform integrity. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patches: upgrade to Chamilo LMS version 1.11.38 (for 1.x branch) or 2.0.0-RC.3 (for 2.x branch). Upstream fixes available via commits ce0192c62e48c9d9474d915c541b3274844afbf9 and e337b7cc74a0276a0b4f91f9282204d20cac1869, which enforce session ID regeneration and input validation. Official security advisory: https://github.com/chamilo/chamilo-lms/security/advisories/GHSA-4gp7-cfjh-77gv. Temporary mitigation: restrict network access to /main/lp/aicc_hacp.php via web application firewall rules or disable AICC HACP functionality if not operationally required. Implement HTTP Strict-Transport-Security and secure session cookie attributes (HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite) to reduce session hijacking surface area.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Root cause resides in main/lp/aicc_hacp.php accepting external input for session ID assignment prior to security context initialization. PHP session handling lacks validation of session origin, violating CWE-384 constraints. The vulnerable endpoint processes AICC HACP protocol parameters without sanitization, creating a pre-authentication attack surface exploitable through social engineering (CVSS UI:R).

DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3, in main/lp/aicc_hacp.php, user-controlled request parameters are directly used to set the PHP session ID before loading global bootstrap. This leads to session fixation. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Chamilo LMS versions before 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3 contain a session fixation vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to hijack user sessions and gain unauthorized access to student records, course materials, and instructor accounts. Organizations running affected Chamilo instances face immediate risk of data breach and compromise of learning platform integrity without remediation.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If immediate upgrade is not feasible: restrict network access to Chamilo instances using WAF rules or network ACLs to block unauthenticated requests to main/lp/aicc_hacp.php; invalidate all active sessions and force re-authentication; implement session ID regeneration policies; monitor access logs for suspicious session parameter manipulation.
