Description

Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3, REST API keys are generated using md5(time() + (user_id * 5) - rand(10000, 10000)). The rand(10000, 10000) call always returns exactly 10000 (min == max), making the formula effectively md5(timestamp + user_id*5 - 10000). An attacker who knows a username and approximate key creation time can brute-force the API key. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3.

Ghostwire Analysis — What This Means Practically

Exploitation Probability (EPSS): Low — 0.03% (8th percentile)

Low exploitation probability based on current threat landscape data. Standard patching timeline is appropriate.

High CVSS score indicates significant risk — exploitation could lead to substantial data exposure or system compromise.
3 proof-of-concept exploits available on GitHub. Public exploit code lowers the barrier for both researchers and attackers.

This analysis is generated by Ghostwire from NVD, CISA KEV, EPSS, and open-source intelligence data. Verify findings through primary sources before acting.
