Chamilo LMS has an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR)
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 28/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.42% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: chamilo chamilo-lms 1.11.38.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to chamilo chamilo-lms 1.11.38 or later.

Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3, Chamilo LMS contains an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in the Learning Path progress saving endpoint. The file lp_ajax_save_item.php accepts a uid (user ID) parameter directly from $_REQUEST and uses it to load and modify another user's Learning Path progress — including score, status, completion, and time — without verifying that the requesting user matches the target user ID. Any authenticated user enrolled in a course can overwrite another user's Learning Path progress by simply changing the uid parameter in the request. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3.
