Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A vulnerability was detected in ILIAS up to 8.23/9.13/10.1. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the component Certificate Import Handler. The manipulation results in Remote Code Execution. The attack may be performed from remote. Upgrading to version 8.24, 9.14 and 10.2 addresses this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

A critical remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Certificate Import Handler component of ILIAS learning management system versions up to 8.23/9.13/10.1. Attackers can exploit this remotely to execute arbitrary code on the server. The vulnerability is addressed by upgrading to versions 8.24, 9.14, or 10.2.

MitigationImmediately upgrade ILIAS to version 8.24, 9.14, or 10.2 to remediate this critical RCE vulnerability. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network access to the certificate import functionality as a temporary mitigation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Determine ILIAS installed version
    Check the ILIAS installation for its version number, typically found in the administration panel under System Info or in a version file within the ILIAS root directory
    Affected if The installed version matches 8.23, 9.13, or 10.1 exactly
  2. Identify Certificate Import Handler availability
    Locate the Certificate Import Handler feature within ILIAS, typically accessible through the Administration menu under Plugins, Certificates, or Learning Path settings
    Affected if The Certificate Import Handler is installed and enabled in the ILIAS instance
  3. Verify access to certificate import functionality
    Check if users with appropriate roles can access the certificate import functionality, typically found in the administration or course settings area
    Affected if The certificate import feature is accessible to remote users without additional authentication layers beyond standard ILIAS login

A user is affected if their ILIAS installation version is exactly 8.23, 9.13, or 10.1 AND the Certificate Import Handler feature is enabled and accessible in their environment.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Immediately upgrade ILIAS to version 8.24, 9.14, or 10.2 to remediate this critical RCE vulnerability. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network access to the certificate import functionality as a temporary mitigation.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to ILIAS 8.24, 9.14, or 10.2 depending on your current major version

  1. 1. Create a complete backup of the ILIAS database and file directory before proceeding
  2. 2. Download the fixed ILIAS version (8.24 for 8.x users, 9.14 for 9.x users, or 10.2 for 10.x users)
  3. 3. Extract the new version and replace the existing ILIAS files, preserving custom configurations
  4. 4. Run the database migration script or use the built-in update mechanism
  5. 5. Clear any caching systems and verify the Certificate Import Handler functionality works correctly
  6. 6. Confirm the ILIAS version shows the updated release number in the admin interface
