Prior to 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3, Chamilo LMS contains an OS Command Injection vulnerability in the file move function. The move() function in fileManage.lib.php passes user-controlled path values directly into exec() shell commands without using escapeshellarg(). When a user moves a document via document.php, the move_to POST parameter — which only passes through Security::remove_XSS() (an HTML-only filter) — is concatenated directly into shell commands such as exec(\"mv $source $target\"). By default, Chamilo allows all authenticated users to create courses (allow_users_to_create_courses = true). Any user who is a teacher in a course (including self-created courses) can move documents, making this vulnerability exploitable by any authenticated user. The attacker must first place a directory with shell metacharacters in its name on the filesystem (achievable via Course Backup Import), then move a document into that directory to trigger arbitrary command execution as the web server user (www-data). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3."}], "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Secondary", "cvssData": {"version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H", "baseScore": 9.1, "baseSeverity": "CRITICAL", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "privilegesRequired": "HIGH", "userInteraction": "NONE", "scope": "CHANGED", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH"}, "exploitabilityScore": 2.3, "impactScore": 6.0}, {"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Primary", "cvssData": {"version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "baseScore": 8.8, "baseSeverity": "HIGH", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "userInteraction": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH"}, "exploitabilityScore": 2.8, "impactScore": 5.9}]}, "weaknesses": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Primary", "description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-78"}]}], "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:chamilo:chamilo_lms:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionEndExcluding": "1.11.38", "matchCriteriaId": "A4D0C5D2-6FA0-4532-8E3D-4EA111A50621"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:chamilo:chamilo_lms:2.0.0:alpha1:*:*:*:*:*:*", "matchCriteriaId": "4AF7661F-C1F7-4CAB-BBDF-FC5BF7F5BEB8"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:chamilo:chamilo_lms:2.0.0:alpha2:*:*:*:*:*:*", "matchCriteriaId": "FE56AF71-9D53-42C6-980D-09E1C418ED87"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:chamilo:chamilo_lms:2.0.0:alpha3:*:*:*:*:*:*", "matchCriteriaId": "01195674-9E1A-4C07-B7D3-0F0CC2E6511B"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:chamilo:chamilo_lms:2.0.0:alpha4:*:*:*:*:*:*", "matchCriteriaId": "BAE63449-5A56-4302-A4BF-F3D19FC96A80"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:chamilo:chamilo_lms:2.0.0:alpha5:*:*:*:*:*:*", "matchCriteriaId": "A84A06F9-5AB7-4703-8153-33AC68882B95"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:chamilo:chamilo_lms:2.0.0:beta1:*:*:*:*:*:*", "matchCriteriaId": "B91302A3-53DE-4ED0-BAAB-FE9DA03F8242"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:chamilo:chamilo_lms:2.0.0:beta2:*:*:*:*:*:*", "matchCriteriaId": "46008D4A-96F7-4E04-8256-E115AAAE3383"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:chamilo:chamilo_lms:2.0.0:beta3:*:*:*:*:*:*", "matchCriteriaId": "6E2BCAFF-D44B-4E67-998A-DF855E27606B"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:chamilo:chamilo_lms:2.0.0:rc1:*:*:*:*:*:*", "matchCriteriaId": "D2E7D018-E4C2-45F5-8D9A-DAC947173607"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:chamilo:chamilo_lms:2.0.0:rc2:*:*:*:*:*:*", "matchCriteriaId": "DAF96697-6B6D-459D-9510-E5CEEDC2859B"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://github.com/chamilo/chamilo-lms/commit/3597b19b73d73d681e4fb503285e9bbfe71714bf", "source": "[email protected]", "tags": ["Patch"]}, {"url": "https://github.com/chamilo/chamilo-lms/commit/62671e5e268f235cddfba704edee90f35c234df1", "source": "[email protected]", "tags": ["Patch"]}, {"url": "https://github.com/chamilo/chamilo-lms/security/advisories/GHSA-59cv-qh65-vvrr", "source": "[email protected]", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"]}]}}
