Chamilo hosts courses, user profiles, assessments, and uploaded learning materials. Hardening should focus on role restrictions, file upload controls, and plugin/module governance.
¶ 1) Tighten user and role management
- Restrict platform admin accounts and review rights regularly.
- Disable open registration where not required.
- Enforce strong passwords and SSO where available.
- Remove inactive student and teacher accounts on schedule.
¶ 2) Secure uploads and course content paths
- Restrict allowed file types and upload size limits.
- Scan uploaded content with antivirus pipeline.
- Limit write permissions on course storage directories.
- Review public-course settings and disable unnecessary anonymous access.
¶ 3) Patch and monitor continuously
- Follow Chamilo security and release updates.
- Patch PHP/runtime stack together with app upgrades.
- Log admin actions, enrollment changes, and grade modifications.
- Encrypt backups containing student records and course artifacts.
