Chamilo is a learning management system. Prior to version 1.11.30, Chamilo is vulnerable to deserialization of untrusted data in /plugin/vchamilo/views/import.php via POST configuration_file; POST course_path; POST home_path parameters. This issue has been patched in version 1.11.30.
Weakness
The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.
Affected Software
| Name | Vendor | Start Version | End Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chamilo_lms | Chamilo | * | 1.11.30 (excluding) |
Potential Mitigations
- Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
- An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
