CVE-2026-33707 Details
Description
Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3, the default password reset mechanism generates tokens using sha1($email) with no random component, no expiration, and no rate limiting. An attacker who knows a user's email can compute the reset token and change the victim's password without authentication. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3.
A vulnerability exists in Chamilo LMS versions prior to 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3, where the password reset mechanism is flawed. It generates tokens by hashing the user's email with SHA-1, lacking a random element, expiration, and rate limiting. This allows an attacker to calculate the reset token and change the password of a user without authentication. The issue is exacerbated by the predictability of user IDs, which are sequential and can be easily guessed.
Users can update to Chamilo LMS versions 1.11.38 or 2.0.0-RC.3, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
