DESCRIPTION:
beford has reported multiple vulnerabilities in Chamilo, which can be
exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks and
bypass certain security restrictions and by malicious people to
conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Input appended to the URL after
main/inc/lib/phpdocx/pdf/www/examples.php is nor properly sanitised
before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context
of an affected site.

2) Input passed via the "category_name" when adding a new dropbox
category is not properly sanitised before being displayed to the
user. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code,
which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an
affected site when the malicious data is viewed.

3) The application does not properly verify the category ID before
deleting the dropbox files, which can be exploited to delete files of
other users.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.8.8.4. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.8.8.4.
