Auth bypass in Chamilo Chamilo-Lms

CVE-2026-33702

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.
