Lifecycle Timeline
7DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3, Chamilo LMS contains a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the Social Wall feature. The endpoint read_url_with_open_graph accepts a URL from the user via the social_wall_new_msg_main POST parameter and performs two server-side HTTP requests to that URL without validating whether the target is an internal or external resource. This allows an authenticated attacker to force the server to make arbitrary HTTP requests to internal services, scan internal ports, and access cloud instance metadata. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3.
AnalysisAI
Server-Side Request Forgery in Chamilo LMS Social Wall feature enables authenticated attackers to force the server to make arbitrary HTTP requests to internal resources. The read_url_with_open_graph endpoint accepts user-controlled URLs via social_wall_new_msg_main POST parameter without validating internal versus external targets, allowing internal port scanning, access to cloud instance metadata (AWS/GCP/Azure), and reconnaissance of private network services. Affects Chamilo LMS versions before 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3. Attack requires low-privilege authenticated access; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
CWE-918 SSRF vulnerability stems from missing input validation on user-supplied URLs before server-side HTTP request execution. The Social Wall feature's read_url_with_open_graph endpoint performs dual HTTP requests without allowlist/blocklist filtering, enabling SSRF to RFC1918 private networks, localhost services, and cloud metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254). CVSS vector PR:L indicates authenticated exploitation; scope change (S:C) reflects cross-boundary impact to internal systems.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patches: upgrade to Chamilo LMS version 1.11.38 (stable branch) or 2.0.0-RC.3 (development branch). Upstream fixes implement URL validation to prevent requests to internal network ranges and cloud metadata endpoints (commits e3790c5f0ff3b4dc547c2099fadf5c438c1bb265 and ea6b7b7e90580c9b01dc4bcafe4ad737061e0ead). Workarounds for environments unable to upgrade immediately: disable Social Wall functionality via administrator panel, implement network-level egress filtering to block server-initiated requests to RFC1918 ranges and 169.254.0.0/16, or restrict Social Wall feature access to highly trusted users only.
