id: CVE-2023-45878

info:
  name: Gibbon LMS <= v25.0.01 - File Upload to RCE
  author: ajdumanhug
  severity: critical
  description: |
    Gibbon LMS versions 25.0.1 and earlier are vulnerable to an Arbitrary File Upload that can lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE). The issue stems from the rubrics_visualise_saveAjax.php endpoint, which, notably, does not require authentication. Because of this, unauthenticated attackers could potentially upload malicious PHP files and execute arbitrary code on the server.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can upload arbitrary PHP files through the rubrics_visualise_saveAjax endpoint to execute arbitrary code on the Gibbon LMS server, enabling complete application and server compromise.
  remediation: |
    Fixed in v26.0.00; upgrade immediately, or restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint and implement WAF protection.
