CVE-2026-33698 Details
Description
Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to 1.11.38, a chained attack can enable otherwise-blocked PHP code from the main/install/ directory and allow an unauthenticated attacker to modify existing files or create new files where allowed by system permissions. This only affects portals with the main/install/ directory still present and read-accessible. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.11.38.
A remote code execution vulnerability has been identified in Chamilo LMS versions prior to 1.11.38. This issue arises from a chained attack that can exploit PHP code in the main/install/ directory, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to modify existing files or create new ones, depending on system permissions. The vulnerability only affects portals with the main/install/ directory still present and accessible.
Users can update to Chamilo LMS version 1.11.38 or delete the main/install/ directory. If the vulnerability has been exploited, it is recommended to check for unauthorized changes in the app/config/configuration.php file, particularly in the update date, database credentials, and the 'security_key' configuration.
