Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2025-50194 is an OS Command Injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in Chamilo, an open-source learning management system. The flaw affects versions prior to 1.11.30 and resides in the file /main/cron/lang/check_parse_lang.php, where insufficient input validation allows attackers to inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands.
The vulnerability has 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), indicating network accessibility with low complexity but requiring high privileges. An authenticated user with elevated permissions, such as an administrator, can exploit this to execute arbitrary OS commands on the underlying server, potentially leading to full system compromise with high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
The issue has been addressed in Chamilo version 1.11.30, as detailed in the project's GitHub security advisory (GHSA-xrr6-wv8p-5v3p), release notes, and the patching commit. Security practitioners should upgrade to the fixed version and review access controls for the affected cron endpoint to mitigate risks.
