CVE-2026-33618

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to .0.0-RC.3, the PlatformConfigurationController::decodeSettingArray() method uses PHP's eval() to parse platform settings from the database. An attacker with admin access (obtainable via Advisory 1) can inject arbitrary PHP code into the settings, which is then executed when any user (including unauthenticated) requests /platform-config/list. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.0.0-RC.3.

Antes de 2.0.0-RC.3, el método PlatformConfigurationController::decodeSettingArray() utiliza la función eval() de PHP para analizar la configuración de la plataforma desde la base de datos. Un atacante con acceso de administrador (obtenible a través del Aviso 1) puede inyectar código PHP arbitrario en la configuración, que luego se ejecuta cuando cualquier usuario (incluidos los no autenticados) solicita /platform-config/list. Esta vulnerabilidad se corrige en 2.0.0-RC.3."
