Chamilo LMS is an open-source learning management system. In versions prior to 2.0.0-RC.3, the PENS (Package Exchange Notification Services) plugin endpoint at public/plugin/Pens/pens.php is accessible without authentication and accepts a user-controlled package-url parameter that the server fetches using curl without filtering private or internal IP addresses, enabling unauthenticated Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). An attacker can exploit this to probe internal network services, access cloud metadata endpoints (such as 169.254.169.254) to steal IAM credentials and sensitive instance metadata, or trigger state-changing operations on internal services via the receipt and alerts callback parameters. No authentication is required to exploit either SSRF vector, significantly increasing the attack surface. This issue has been fixed in version 2.0.0-RC.3.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in Chamilo LMS versions prior to 2.0.0-RC.3 allows remote attackers to access internal network services and cloud metadata endpoints via unfiltered package-url parameter in the PENS plugin. Attackers can steal AWS IAM credentials from 169.254.169.254, probe internal infrastructure, and trigger state-changing operations on internal services without requiring authentication. …

RemediationAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all Chamilo LMS deployments and verify version numbers (vulnerable if prior to 2.0.0-RC.3); disable or restrict network access to the PENS plugin if immediate patching is not feasible. Within 7 days: upgrade all Chamilo instances to version 2.0.0-RC.3 or later per vendor advisory. …
