Summary

CVE-2026-32894 is a high-severity NULL Pointer Dereference (CWE-476) vulnerability in Chamilo Chamilo Lms. Its CVSS base score is 7.1 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Endpoint Denial of Service (T1499); ranked at the 20th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-24 (Access Control Decisions) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — 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-2026-32894 is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability, mapped to CWE-476 and CWE-639, in Chamilo LMS, an open-source learning management system. It affects versions prior to 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3, specifically in the gradebook result view page, where no ownership or course-scope verification is performed on delete operations.

The vulnerability can be exploited over the network by any authenticated teacher with low privileges and no user interaction required. By manipulating the delete_mark or resultdelete GET parameters, an attacker can delete any student's grade result across the entire platform, regardless of course affiliation. This results in high integrity impact and low availability impact, as reflected in the CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L).

Mitigation is provided in Chamilo LMS versions 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3. Relevant patches are detailed in GitHub commits 3b03306d1a0301a81b9284e86893b27f518ab151 and 740f5a6e192a52a3adde3c3241c86401b1d2c519, with additional guidance in the security advisory at GHSA-rqpg-p95v-fv98.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Enforcing approved authorizations on every access request structurally stops a user-controlled key from reaching another user's data.

Requiring explicit access-control decisions on each request blocks unauthorized key-driven access.

Developer testing and evaluation (including static analysis) directly finds null-dereference bugs before deployment.

Least-privilege restrictions limit the scope of data reachable even if a key check is bypassed.

Documented development standards and tools can enforce null-safety rules and safe pointer usage.

Engineering principles can mandate defensive coding such as explicit null checks before dereference.

finds

Security testing can detect NULL dereference defects before release.

prevents

Information access restriction explicitly enforces that users may only retrieve data they are authorized to see, directly addressing user-controlled key bypass.

prevents

Access control policy directly requires enforcement of authorization rules that prevent unauthorized access via manipulated keys.

prevents

Managing access rights includes ensuring users can only access their own records and not bypass authorization by altering identifiers.

mitigates

Privileged access rights control restricts what data each user may access, mitigating direct object reference attacks.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates defensive coding practices that can prevent NULL dereferences.
