Likely Mitigating ControlsAI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

SC-27 Platform-independent Applications
addresses: CWE-78

Platform-independent apps typically execute inside a managed runtime or sandbox that restricts direct OS command execution, reducing the ability to exploit OS command injection.

SI-10 Information Input Validation
addresses: CWE-78

Validates inputs to block special elements that would alter OS command execution.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
attack.mitre.org →
T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter Execution
Adversaries may abuse command and script interpreters to execute commands, scripts, or binaries.
attack.mitre.org →
Why these techniques?

OS command injection in a web app directly enables T1190 (public-facing exploit) and T1059 (arbitrary command execution via shell).

Confidence: HIGH · MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise v18.1

NVD Description

Chamilo is a learning management system. Prior to version 1.11.30, there is an OS command Injection vulnerability in /plugin/vchamilo/views/import.php with the POST to_main_database parameter. This issue has been patched in version 1.11.30.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2025-50193 is an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) affecting Chamilo, an open-source learning management system. The issue impacts versions prior to 1.11.30 and is located in the file /plugin/vchamilo/views/import.php, where the POST parameter to_main_database allows injection of operating system commands. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Attackers with high privileges (PR:H) can exploit this over the network with low complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary OS command execution, resulting in high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially leading to full server compromise.

The vulnerability is patched in Chamilo version 1.11.30. Mitigation involves upgrading to this version or later.
