Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
DoceboLMS 1.2 has an unauthenticated SQL injection in lesson.php. A remote attacker could manipulate database queries and potentially extract sensitive information. The listed CVSS 4.0 score is 8.8, making this a high-priority issue for any organization still running this legacy version.
Executive priority
High. If DoceboLMS 1.2 is still used, prioritize immediate exposure review because the flaw is unauthenticated and could impact sensitive database confidentiality.
Technical view
The CVE describes SQL injection through the id, idC, and idU GET parameters on lesson.php in DoceboLMS 1.2. It is network-accessible, low-complexity, requires no privileges, and no user interaction. Public references include an ExploitDB entry and a VulnCheck advisory. The CWE listed in the bundle is CWE-352, which appears inconsistent with the SQL injection description.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to internet-facing or internally reachable DoceboLMS 1.2 deployments. Organizations using other Docebo or LMS versions are not confirmed affected by the provided sources.
Exploitation context
A public exploit reference exists, but the CVE is not marked as CISA KEV in the provided bundle. Treat the issue as realistically exploitable where DoceboLMS 1.2 is reachable, but do not assume confirmed active exploitation from these sources alone.
Researcher notes
The record is newly published for an older product/version. Public exploit material is referenced, but active exploitation is not established by KEV or the supplied sources. Validate scope carefully; the affected version is specifically DoceboLMS 1.2.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory DoceboLMS deployments and confirm whether version 1.2 is present.
- Restrict network access to DoceboLMS until vendor guidance is confirmed.
- Check vendor or project guidance for updates, migration paths, or official remediation.
- Review database and application logs for suspicious lesson.php parameter activity.
- Prioritize retirement or upgrade if DoceboLMS 1.2 remains in production.
Validation and detection
- Identify hosts serving DoceboLMS and record exposed paths.
- Confirm application version through approved administrative or asset-management methods.
- Check whether lesson.php is reachable from untrusted networks.
- Review web logs for unusual id, idC, or idU parameter patterns.
- Verify remediation by confirming the affected version is removed, upgraded, or isolated.
