Technical Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Claroline, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands and scripting code, or disclose sensitive information.

The first issue is due to an input validation error in the "learnPath/include/scormExport.inc.php" script that does not validate the "includePath" parameter, which could be exploited by remote attackers to include malicious scripts and execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web server.

The second flaw is due to an input validation error in the "document/rqmkhtml.php" script when processing a specially crafted "file" variable, which could be exploited by attackers to disclose the contents or arbitrary files via directory traversal attacks or cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the user's browser in the security context of an affected Web site.
