DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3, Chamilo LMS contains an OS Command Injection vulnerability in the file move function. The move() function in fileManage.lib.php passes user-controlled path values directly into exec() shell commands without using escapeshellarg(). When a user moves a document via document.php, the move_to POST parameter - which only passes through Security::remove_XSS() (an HTML-only filter) - is concatenated directly into shell commands such as exec("mv $source $target"). By default, Chamilo allows all authenticated users to create courses (allow_users_to_create_courses = true). Any user who is a teacher in a course (including self-created courses) can move documents, making this vulnerability exploitable by any authenticated user. The attacker must first place a directory with shell metacharacters in its name on the filesystem (achievable via Course Backup Import), then move a document into that directory to trigger arbitrary command execution as the web server user (www-data). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3.

AnalysisAI

OS command injection in Chamilo LMS 1.x (prior to 1.11.38) and 2.0.0-RC.x (prior to RC.3) allows authenticated teacher-role users to execute arbitrary system commands via unsanitized file path parameters. The move() function in fileManage.lib.php concatenates user-controlled move_to POST values directly into exec() shell commands without proper escaping. Any authenticated user can exploit this by creating a course (enabled by default), uploading a directory with shell metacharacters via Course Backup Import, then moving a document to trigger command execution as www-data. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

CWE-78 flaw stems from passing move_to POST parameter through Security::remove_XSS() HTML filter only, then directly concatenating into exec("mv $source $target") without escapeshellarg(). Shell metacharacters in directory names created via backup import bypass sanitization, enabling command injection at filesystem layer when document move operation executes.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patches: upgrade to Chamilo LMS 1.11.38 for 1.x deployments or 2.0.0-RC.3 for 2.0.0 release candidate deployments. Fixes implement escapeshellarg() sanitization in fileManage.lib.php move() function per commits 3597b19b73d73d681e4fb503285e9bbfe71714bf and 62671e5e268f235cddfba704edee90f35c234df1. No workaround provided; patching is mandatory. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, disable allow_users_to_create_courses configuration setting and restrict course creation/teacher role assignment until patching is complete.
