Stored XSS via unsanitized CSV filenames
Published Mar 2, 2026 · Updated Mar 2, 2026
Stored XSS in Chamilo LMS before 1.11.30 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript via a crafted CSV filename. main/admin/user_import.php stores the raw import_file name and passes it to CSV parsing, allowing later pages to render embedded markup without output encoding. The attacker needs file-upload access, or must induce an authorized user to upload the file, and execution requires a user to view the import result or history.
