CVE-2025-59540 — Chamilo is a learning management system
Chamilo is a learning management system. Prior to version 1.11.34, a stored XSS vulnerability exists in Chamilo LMS that allows a staff account to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser of higher-privileged admin users. The issue arises because feedback input in the exercise history page is not properly encoded before rendering, allowing malicious scripts to persist in the database and execute on view. This issue has been patched in version 1.11.34.

Matched remediation archetype
Cross-site scripting and unsafe browser output
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Trace reflected, stored, and DOM-derived untrusted values into HTML, attributes, URLs, styles, scripts, and client-side template sinks.
- Identify affected origins, authenticated user roles, sensitive browser capabilities, and where content is shared across tenants.
- Review framework escaping, rich-text sanitization, legacy templates, and client-side rendering paths.
Remediate safely
- Use context-aware framework output encoding and safe DOM APIs; keep untrusted data out of executable contexts.
- Sanitize intentionally supported markup with a maintained allowlist policy and validate URLs and attributes separately.
- Update affected rendering components and add tests for every output context using inert sentinel markup.
