Impact
Chamilo LMS incorporates a flaw in the TicketModule's addProject function where an attacker can pass a crafted Name value that is rendered in a browser without proper sanitisation, resulting in a cross‑site scripting vulnerability. This flaw aligns with CWE‑79 (XSS) and CWE‑94 (Code Injection), exposing the application to client‑side script execution that can be used to steal cookies, deface content, or perform arbitrary actions on the victim’s behalf.
Affected Systems
Affected versions are Chamilo LMS up to 1.11.40, 2.0.3, and 3.0.1. The Ticket Module's addProject endpoint is vulnerable in any of these releases. Systems running the mentioned versions should verify whether the vulnerable code path is present and apply the available patch.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 5.1 indicates moderate severity, and no EPSS data is available, suggesting limited knowledge of current exploitation activity. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, yet an exploit has been publicly disclosed and can be accessed remotely. Publicly exposed installations that have not applied the patch are at increased risk, as attackers can trigger the XSS without special conditions.
