Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 35/100)
- 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: 0.49% (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.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3, an unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the exercise sound upload function allows an authenticated teacher to upload a PHP webshell by spoofing the Content-Type header to audio/mpeg. The uploaded file retains its original .php extension and is placed in a web-accessible directory, enabling Remote Code Execution as the web server user (www-data). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3.
