Lifecycle Timeline
3Description
Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3, the default password reset mechanism generates tokens using sha1($email) with no random component, no expiration, and no rate limiting. An attacker who knows a user's email can compute the reset token and change the victim's password without authentication. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3.
Analysis
Unauthenticated password reset takeover in Chamilo LMS 1.11.x (prior to 1.11.38) and 2.0.0-RC versions (prior to RC.3) allows remote attackers to hijack arbitrary user accounts by computing deterministic reset tokens. The vulnerability stems from insecure token generation using sha1($email) without randomization, expiration, or rate limiting. …
