What it is about

ILIAS ist eine Open Source e-Learning Lösung. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in ILIAS ausnutzen, um Code zur Ausführung zu bringen, Cross Site Scripting Angriffe auszuführen, Informationen offenzulegen und weitere, nicht spezifizierte Auswirkungen zu erzielen.

Under what conditions?

Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • Code zur Ausführung zu bringen
  • Cross Site Scripting Angriffe auszuführen
  • Informationen offenzulegen
  • weitere
  • nicht spezifizierte Auswirkungen zu erzielen

Am I affected?

Affected according to the BSI:

  • Open Source ILIAS <7.22

The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.

What helps?

Update to at least:

  • Open Source ILIAS 7.22

Is the vulnerability already being exploited?

None of the CVEs is in the CISA catalogue of exploited vulnerabilities. That does not mean there are no attacks, only that none are documented.
