CVE-2025-52468
CWE-79Published: March 2, 2026· Updated: Mar 3, 2026
Official Description
Chamilo is a learning management system. Prior to version 1.11.30, an input validation vulnerability exists when importing user data from CSV files. This flaw occurs due to insufficient sanitization of user data, specifically in the "Last Name", "First Name", and "Username" fields. It allows attackers to inject a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) payload that is triggered when the user profile is viewed, potentially leading to malicious script execution in the context of the authenticated use. This issue has been patched in version 1.11.30.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-52468 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation does not require any privileges, though user interaction (Required) is needed, which slightly reduces the risk of mass automated attacks.
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.
