DescriptionNVD

Chamilo LMS is an open-source learning management system. In versions prior to 2.0.0-RC.3, an insecure direct object modification vulnerability in the PUT /api/users/{id} endpoint allows any authenticated user with ROLE_STUDENT to escalate their privileges to ROLE_ADMIN by modifying the roles field on their own user record. The API Platform security expression is_granted('EDIT', object) only verifies record ownership, and the roles field is included in the writable serialization group, enabling any user to set arbitrary roles such as ROLE_ADMIN. Successful exploitation grants full administrative control of the platform, including access to all courses, user data, grades, and administrative settings. This issue has been fixed in version 2.0.0-RC.3.

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation in Chamilo LMS versions prior to 2.0.0-RC.3 allows authenticated students to gain full administrative access via API manipulation. Low-privilege users (ROLE_STUDENT) can modify their own user record through the PUT /api/users/{id} endpoint to assign themselves ROLE_ADMIN privileges, bypassing intended access controls. …

Within 24 hours: Identify all Chamilo LMS instances in production and determine current versions via admin console or API documentation endpoints. Within 7 days: Apply vendor patch to upgrade all instances to version 2.0.0-RC.3 or later; if patching is blocked by dependencies, immediately implement network segmentation restricting API access to trusted internal networks only. …
