Summary
CVE-2025-59541 is a high-severity CSRF (CWE-352) vulnerability in Chamilo Chamilo Lms. Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 5th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SC-23 (Session Authenticity) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-59541 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability, classified under CWE-352, affecting Chamilo, an open-source learning management system. Versions prior to 1.11.34 are vulnerable due to the absence of anti-CSRF protections, such as tokens, on sensitive actions like project deletion within courses. These actions rely on GET-based requests, enabling unauthorized execution when triggered inadvertently.
An unauthenticated attacker (PR:N) can exploit this over the network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) by tricking an authenticated Trainer user into visiting a malicious webpage (UI:R). The forged request deletes projects inside a course without the victim's consent, leading to high integrity (I:H) and availability (A:H) impacts but no confidentiality loss (C:N), with an unchanged scope (S:U). The CVSS v3.1 base score is 8.1.
The issue was patched in Chamilo version 1.11.34. Mitigation involves upgrading to this version or later. Additional details are available in the GitHub release notes at https://github.com/chamilo/chamilo-lms/releases/tag/v1.11.34 and the security advisory at https://github.com/chamilo/chamilo-lms/security/advisories/GHSA-rpj6-p9m5-q637.

Vulnerability Data
Chamilo is a learning management system. Prior to version 1.11.34, a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability allows an attacker to delete projects inside a course without the victim’s consent. The issue arises because sensitive actions such as project deletion do…

not implement anti-CSRF protections (tokens) and GET based requests. As a result, an authenticated user (Trainer) can be tricked into executing this unwanted action by simply visiting a malicious page. This issue has been patched in version 1.11.34.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Access enforcement requires verifying that state-changing requests originate from the authenticated user rather than a forged cross-site source.
Protecting session authenticity prevents attackers from replaying or forging authenticated requests via the victim's browser.

By denying access to phishing or malicious sites, the control lowers the likelihood that a user will be tricked into submitting a forged request that performs an unintended action on another site.
