Dokeos is an Open Source elearning and course management web application translated in 34 languages and helping more than 1.000 organisations worldwide to manage learning and collaboration activities. Vulnerability. Dokeos was built using Claroline's code; it inherited several of its features including an old version of phpBB which is being used as the forum for the courses. There is a problem in the ?viewtopic.php", where the $topic variable is not correctly sanitized and $forumview is equal to ?threaded", that would allow an attacker to inject arbitrary code to the application. Impact An attacker could use Blind SQL Injection to gain access to privileged data like the password hashes for the administrator user and so on.
