CVE-2026-33704
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to 1.11.38, any authenticated user (including students) can write arbitrary content to files on the server via the BigUpload endpoint. The key parameter controls the filename and the raw POST body becomes the file content. While .php extensions are filtered to .phps, the .pht extension passes through unmodified. On Apache configurations where .pht is handled as PHP, this leads to Remote Code Execution. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.11.38.

"value": "Chamilo LMS es un sistema de gestión del aprendizaje. Antes de la versión 1.11.38, cualquier usuario autenticado (incluidos los estudiantes) puede escribir contenido arbitrario en archivos en el servidor a través del endpoint BigUpload. El parámetro key controla el nombre del archivo y el cuerpo POST sin procesar se convierte en el contenido del archivo. Mientras que las extensiones .php se filtran a .phps, la extensión .pht pasa sin modificar. En configuraciones de Apache donde .pht se maneja como PHP, esto conduce a la ejecución remota de código. Esta vulnerabilidad se corrige en la versión 1.11.38."
