Summary

CVE-2026-1106 is a medium-severity Incorrect Privilege Assignment (CWE-266) vulnerability in Chamilo Chamilo Lms. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 32th 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 AC-6 (Least Privilege) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly enforces authorization checks on the userId argument before allowing deleteLegal operations, blocking the improper authorization flaw.

prevent

Limits privileges assigned to user accounts so that even a bypassed check in the Legal Consent Handler cannot grant excessive delete rights.

AU-2 Event Logging partial match
detect

Requires logging of access attempts to the deleteLegal function, enabling detection of unauthorized userId manipulations after the fact.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.AA-05 full match
prevents

Directly enforces least-privilege policy definition, management, and review that prevents incorrect privilege assignments.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices catch and eliminate most authorization defects before release, yet a single broad outcome cannot address every design, role, and runtime facet of CWE-285.

PR.AA-01 partial match
prevents

PR.AA-01 supplies managed identities and access-request workflows that can support downstream authorization decisions, yet does nothing to enforce or verify authorization checks inside a product, leaving CWE-285 fully unaddressed by this control alone.

PR.IR-01 partial match
prevents

Network segmentation/zero-trust limits external reachability (partial prevention of exploitation) but leaves application-level authorization logic untouched, so the CWE remains fully introducible and only one facet of its risk is addressed.

PR.PS-05 none match
prevents

PR.PS-05 blocks unauthorized binaries/DNS while CWE-285 is an in-product authorization-check defect, so the control neither prevents the weakness nor removes any of its risk.

prevents

The access-rights control governs the entire lifecycle of privilege assignment, directly eliminating incorrect assignments.

prevents

Privileged-access-rights control explicitly requires least-privilege assignment and ongoing validation, directly mitigating CWE-266.

prevents

Granular, policy-driven assignment of permissions and dynamic enforcement of those permissions prevent the incorrect or missing authorization decisions that lead to improper authorization flaws.

prevents

By requiring documented authorization rules and periodic policy reviews, the control makes it less likely that authorization decisions will be omitted or implemented inconsistently across applications.

prevents

Access control policy directly prevents incorrect privilege assignment by defining who may receive which rights.

mitigates

Segregation of duties reduces blast radius of any single incorrect privilege but does not prevent the assignment itself.
