'Name' => 'Chamilo unauthenticated command injection in PowerPoint upload',
'Description' => %q{
Chamilo is an e-learning platform, also called Learning Management Systems (LMS).
This module exploits an unauthenticated remote command execution vulnerability
that affects Chamilo versions `1.11.18` and below (CVE-2023-34960).
Due to a functionality called Chamilo Rapid to easily convert PowerPoint
slides to courses on Chamilo, it is possible for an unauthenticated remote
attacker to execute arbitrary commands at OS level using a malicious SOAP
request at the vulnerable endpoint `/main/webservices/additional_webservices.php`.
