CVE-2025-50186
CWE-79Published: March 2, 2026· Updated: Mar 3, 2026
Official Description
Chamilo is a learning management system. Prior to version 1.11.30, a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of CSV filenames. An attacker can upload a maliciously named CSV file (e.g., <img src=q onerror=prompt(8)>.csv) that leads to JavaScript execution when viewed by administrators or users with access to import logs or file views. This issue has been patched in version 1.11.30.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-50186 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires high privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-79): Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
