Ubuntu 18.04 LTS : SPIP vulnerabilities (USN-5482-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 162377

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

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)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected spip package.
