Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to 1.11.38, any authenticated user (including students) can write arbitrary content to files on the server via the BigUpload endpoint. The key parameter controls the filename and the raw POST body becomes the file content. While .php extensions are filtered to .phps, the .pht extension passes through unmodified. On Apache configurations where .pht is handled as PHP, this leads to Remote Code Execution. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.11.38.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Chamilo LMS versions prior to 1.11.38 allows authenticated users (including low-privilege students) to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code through the BigUpload endpoint. Attackers exploit insufficient file extension filtering by uploading .pht files containing malicious code, which Apache servers with default .pht handlers execute as PHP. …

RemediationAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all Chamilo LMS instances and their current versions; disable the BigUpload endpoint if version is prior to 1.11.38 until patching is complete. Within 7 days: Apply vendor-released patch to Chamilo 1.11.38 or later on all affected instances; verify patch deployment. …
