Administrator-level database disclosure via userFile SQL injection
Published Mar 2, 2026 · Updated Mar 2, 2026
SQL injection in Chamilo LMS before 1.11.30 allows remote authenticated users with administrator access to read database data. The /main/exercise/hotpotatoes.php script incorporates the POST userFile value into database-query logic without sufficient validation or SQL neutralization. Administrator privileges and network access to the exercise endpoint are required; successful exploitation exposes database information and can interrupt the application service.
