SPIP 4.0.0 is affected by a Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in ecrire/public/aiguiller.php, ecrire/public/balises.php, ecrire/balise/formulaire_.php. To exploit the vulnerability, a visitor must visit a malicious website which redirects to the SPIP website. It is also possible to combine XSS vulnerabilities in SPIP 4.0.0 to exploit it. The vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker to execute malicious code without the knowledge of the user on the website (CSRF).

According to its self-reported version, the instance of SPIP CMS running on the remote web server is 4.0.x prior to 4.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiples vulnerabilities :
 - A Remote Code Execution through a malicious picture with a double extension
 - Multiples Cross-Site Request Forgery.
 - A Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in ecrire/public/interfaces.php - A Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability through a malicious SVG file.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5482-2 advisory.

    USN-5482-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in SPIP. This update provides the corresponding updates for     Ubuntu 20.04 LTS for CVE-2021-44118, CVE-2021-44120, CVE-2021-44122 and CVE-2021-44123.

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5482-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that SPIP incorrectly validated inputs. An authenticated attacker could possibly use     this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-28984)

    Charles Fol and Tho Gordyjan discovered that SPIP is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS). If a user     were tricked into browsing a malicious SVG file, an attacker could possibly exploit this issue to execute     arbitrary code. This issue was only fixed in Ubuntu 21.10. (CVE-2021-44118, CVE-2021-44120,     CVE-2021-44122, CVE-2021-44123)

    It was discovered that SPIP incorrectly handled certain forms. A remote authenticated editor could     possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code, and a remote unauthenticated attacker could possibly     use this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2022-26846, CVE-2022-26847)
