Chamilo LMS is an open-source learning management system. In versions prior to 2.0.0-RC.3, an OS Command Injection vulnerability exists in the main/inc/ajax/gradebook.ajax.php endpoint within the export_all_certificates action, where the course code retrieved from the session variable $_SESSION['_cid'] via api_get_course_id() is concatenated directly into a shell_exec() command string without sanitization or escaping using escapeshellarg(). If an attacker can manipulate or poison their session data to inject shell metacharacters into the _cid variable, they can achieve arbitrary command execution on the underlying server. Successful exploitation grants full access to read system files and credentials, alters the application and database, or disrupts server availability. This issue has been fixed in version 2.0.0-RC.3.
AnalysisAI
OS command injection in Chamilo LMS prior to 2.0.0-RC.3 allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary system commands via session poisoning of the course ID parameter. Attackers with low-privilege accounts can manipulate the $_SESSION['_cid'] variable to inject shell metacharacters into shell_exec() calls in the gradebook certificate export functionality, achieving full system compromise. …
