Technical details

An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability exists in the notebook module of Chamilo LMS due to missing authorization checks in the read path. While the application implements ownership verification for updating or deleting notes, the 'get_note_information()' function used by the 'editnote' action fails to verify if the requesting user owns the note associated with the provided 'notebook_id'. An authenticated attacker can exploit this by enumerating integer IDs to retrieve the full title and HTML body of any private note on the platform. The vulnerability is fixed in version 2.0.0-RC.3.
