CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HSummary
CVE-2026-30875 is a high-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Chamilo Chamilo Lms. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked at the 41th 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 SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — 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-2026-30875 is an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the H5P Import feature of Chamilo LMS, an open-source learning management system. Versions prior to 1.11.36 are affected, as the H5P package validation only verifies the existence of an h5p.json file but does not prevent the inclusion of .htaccess files or PHP code disguised with alternative extensions.
Authenticated users with the Teacher role can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. By uploading a specially crafted H5P package containing a webshell and an .htaccess file that enables PHP execution on .txt files, attackers bypass security controls to achieve remote code execution (RCE). The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and maps to CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code).
The vulnerability has been patched in Chamilo LMS version 1.11.36. Security practitioners should upgrade to this version immediately. Additional details are available in the GitHub release notes at https://github.com/chamilo/chamilo-lms/releases/tag/v1.11.36 and the security advisory at https://github.com/chamilo/chamilo-lms/security/advisories/GHSA-mj4f-8fw2-hrfm.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.
Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.
Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.
Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

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.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).
PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.

Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.
Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
