Summary

CVE-2026-32930 is a high-severity Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (CWE-639) vulnerability in Chamilo Chamilo Lms. Its CVSS base score is 7.1 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 9th 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-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-2026-32930 is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability, classified under CWE-639, affecting Chamilo LMS, an open-source learning management system. The issue resides in the gradebook evaluation edit page and impacts versions prior to 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3. It enables unauthorized access to evaluation settings through manipulation of the editeval GET parameter. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N), indicating high integrity impact with low confidentiality impact and no availability impact.

Any authenticated teacher user can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. By altering the editeval parameter, an attacker can view and modify critical evaluation settings—such as name, maximum score, and weight—for evaluations in courses they do not own or manage, potentially disrupting grading integrity across the platform.

The vulnerability is addressed in Chamilo LMS versions 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3 via fixes detailed in GitHub commits 63e1e6d3d717bd537c7c61719416da35aaa658dd and f03f681df939db0429edc8414fb3ce4e4b80d79d. Additional guidance is available in the security advisory at GHSA-9h22-wrg7-82q6, recommending immediate upgrades to patched versions for mitigation.

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.

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

PR.AA-05 full match
prevents

Enforcing authorization policy and least privilege directly blocks user-controlled key tampering that bypasses access checks.

PR.IR-01 mostly match
prevents

Logical access controls prevent unauthorized data access that results from missing authorization checks on object references.

finds

Security testing can detect missing authorization checks but does not prevent the weakness in production.

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 development lifecycle includes authorization design but does not itself implement runtime access checks.
