Summary

CVE-2026-33703 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 Steal Application Access Token (T1528); ranked at the 7th 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.

Vulnerability Data

Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to 2.0.0-RC.3, an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in the /social-network/personal-data/{userId} endpoint allows any authenticated user to access full personal data and API tokens of arbitrary users by modifying the userId…

parameter. This results in mass disclosure of sensitive user information and credentials, enabling a full platform data breach. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.0.0-RC.3.

Related Threats

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1528 Steal Application Access Token Credential Access
Adversaries can steal application access tokens as a means of acquiring credentials to access remote systems and resources.
T1552 Unsecured Credentials Credential Access
Adversaries may search compromised systems to find and obtain insecurely stored credentials.
Why these techniques?

IDOR directly enables unauthorized retrieval of API tokens and credentials from arbitrary users.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly enforces authorization checks on object references such as userId to block unauthorized access to personal data and tokens.

prevent

Ensures users receive only the minimum privileges required, preventing any authenticated user from accessing arbitrary user objects via the endpoint.

prevent

Enforces information flow rules between users so that personal data and API tokens cannot be retrieved across unauthorized boundaries.

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.

detects

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.
