SPIP before 4.4.18 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the administrative action endpoints under ecrire/action/ that allows unauthenticated attackers to perform privileged actions by supplying a valid HMAC-SHA256 nonce without any server-side permission check via autoriser(). Attackers can obtain a valid nonce, compute it for any action as the anonymous user, and invoke the editerauteur action directly over HTTP to reset the password of any user account, including the administrator.
SPIP before 4.4.18 contains an unauthenticated blind SQL injection vulnerability in the public sitemap endpoint where the MySQL escaper spipmysqlcite() in ecrire/req/mysql.php returns values unescaped when the target column is a date type and the supplied value matches the pattern of a word character followed by an open parenthesis. Attackers can supply a crafted value such as a time-based payload through the annee parameter in squelettes-dist/sitemap.xml.html to embed arbitrary SQL directly into the generated query, enabling time-based and boolean-based blind SQL injection that can expose arbitrary database content including the aleaephemere secret used to sign action nonces.
SPIP before 4.4.21 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, as exploited in the wild in August 2026. This is related to code injection via an X-Spip-Filtre HTTP request header that is mishandled by analyseresultatskel.
SPIP before 4.4.20 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, as exploited in the wild in August 2026. This is related to incorrect identification of <?php blocks, and varexport's mishandling of certain cases such as presence of a '<' character.
SPIP before 4.4.18 contains a code injection vulnerability in SQLite-backed installations. The navigation menu endpoint improperly handles array-typed user input, which bypasses input sanitization and allows the value to break out of an internal quoted string context when evaluated as PHP. An authenticated attacker with at minimum editor (redacteur) privileges can submit a single crafted GET request to /ecrire/?exec=navigation to execute arbitrary OS commands in the web server process. MySQL-backed installations are not affected.
action/cookie.php in ecrire in SPIP before 4.4.15 is prone to an open redirect vulnerability.
SPIP versions prior to 4.4.14 contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the public space that is limited to certain nginx configurations, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the web server. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability through specific nginx configuration scenarios to achieve code execution, and this issue is not mitigated by the SPIP security screen.
SPIP versions prior to 4.4.14 contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the private space that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the web server. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to achieve code execution that bypasses the SPIP security screen protections.
SPIP 4.4.10 through 4.4.12 before 4.4.13 allows unintended privilege assignment (of administrator privileges) during the editing of an author data structure because of STATUT mishandling.
SPIP versions prior to 4.4.10 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability caused by PHP type juggling that allows unauthenticated attackers to access protected information. Attackers can exploit loose type comparisons in authentication logic to bypass login verification and retrieve sensitive internal data.
SPIP versions prior to 4.4.10 contain a SQL injection vulnerability that allows authenticated low-privilege users to execute arbitrary SQL queries by manipulating union-based injection techniques. Attackers can exploit this SQL injection flaw combined with PHP tag processing to achieve remote code execution on the server.
The SPIP refererspam plugin versions prior to 1.3.0 contain an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the refererspamajouter and refererspamsupprimer action handlers. The handlers read the url parameter from a GET request and interpolate it directly into SQL LIKE clauses without input validation or parameterization. The endpoints do not enforce authorization checks and do not use SPIP action protections such as securiseraction(), allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries.
The SPIP tickets plugin versions prior to 4.3.3 contain an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the forum preview handling for public ticket pages. The plugin appends untrusted request parameters into HTML that is later rendered by a template using unfiltered environment rendering (#ENV), which disables SPIP output filtering. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker can inject crafted content that is evaluated through SPIP's template processing chain, leading to execution of code in the context of the web server.
The SPIP interfacetraductionobjets plugin versions prior to 2.2.2 contain an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the translation interface workflow. The plugin incorporates untrusted request data into a hidden form field that is rendered without SPIP output filtering. Because fields prefixed with an underscore bypass protection mechanisms and the hidden content is rendered with filtering disabled, an authenticated attacker with editor-level privileges can inject crafted content that is evaluated through SPIP's template processing chain, resulting in execution of code in the context of the web server.
The SPIP jeux plugin versions prior to 4.1.1 contain a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the prepropre pipeline. The plugin incorporates untrusted request parameters into HTML output without proper output encoding, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary script content into pages that render a jeux block. When a victim is induced to visit a crafted URL, the injected content is reflected into the response and executed in the victim's browser context.
The SPIP interfacetraductionobjets plugin versions prior to 2.2.2 contain an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in interfacetraductionobjetspipelines.php. When handling translation requests, the plugin reads the idparent parameter from user-supplied input and concatenates it directly into a SQL WHERE clause in a call to sqlgetfetsel() without input validation or parameterization. An authenticated attacker with editor-level privileges can inject crafted SQL expressions into the idparent parameter to manipulate the backend query. Successful exploitation can result in disclosure or modification of database contents and may lead to denial of service depending on the database configuration and privileges.
SPIP before 4.4.9 allows Insecure Deserialization in the public area through the tablevaleur filter and the DATA iterator, which accept serialized data. An attacker who can place malicious serialized content (a pre-condition requiring prior access or another vulnerability) can trigger arbitrary object instantiation and potentially achieve code execution. The use of serialized data in these components has been deprecated and will be removed in SPIP 5. This vulnerability is not mitigated by the SPIP security screen.
SPIP before 4.4.9 allows Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the private area, complementing an incomplete fix from SPIP 4.4.8. The echappeantixss() function was not systematically applied to input, form, button, and anchor (a) HTML tags, allowing an attacker to inject malicious scripts through these elements. This vulnerability is not mitigated by the SPIP security screen.
SPIP before 4.4.9 allows Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via syndicated sites in the private area. The #URLSYNDIC output is not properly sanitized on the private syndicated site page, allowing an attacker who can set a malicious syndication URL to inject persistent scripts that execute when other administrators view the syndicated site details.
SPIP before 4.4.9 allows Blind Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) via syndicated sites in the private area. When editing a syndicated site, the application does not verify that the syndication URL is a valid remote URL, allowing an authenticated attacker to make the server issue requests to arbitrary internal or external destinations. This vulnerability is not mitigated by the SPIP security screen.
SPIP before 4.4.8 allows cross-site scripting (XSS) in the private area via malicious iframe tags. The application does not properly sandbox or escape iframe content in the back-office, allowing an attacker to inject and execute malicious scripts. The fix adds a sandbox attribute to iframe tags in the private area. This vulnerability is not mitigated by the SPIP security screen.
SPIP before 4.4.8 contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the public area triggered in certain edge-case usage patterns. The echapperhtmlsuspect() function does not adequately sanitize user-controlled content, allowing authenticated users with content-editing privileges (e.g., author-level roles and above) to inject malicious scripts. The injected payload may be rendered across multiple pages within the framework and execute in the browser context of other users, including administrators. Successful exploitation can allow attackers to perform actions in the security context of the victim user, including unauthorized modification of application state. This vulnerability is not mitigated by the SPIP security screen.

SPIP before 4.4.5 and 4.3.9 allows an Open Redirect via the login form when used in AJAX mode. An attacker can craft a malicious URL that, when visited by a victim, redirects them to an arbitrary external site after login. This vulnerability only affects sites where the login page has been overridden to function in AJAX mode. It is not mitigated by the SPIP security screen.
The 'Saisies pour formulaire' (Saisies) plugin for SPIP versions 5.4.0 through 5.11.0 contains a critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the server. Users should immediately update to version 5.11.1 or later.
SPIP before 4.3.6, 4.2.17, and 4.1.20 allows unauthorized content disclosure in the private area. The application does not properly check authorization when displaying content of articles and sections (rubriques) in AJAX-loaded fragments, allowing an authenticated attacker to access restricted content. This vulnerability is not mitigated by the SPIP security screen.
SPIP before 4.3.6, 4.2.17, and 4.1.20 allows Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the private area. The content of the error message displayed by the 'transmettre' API is not properly sanitized, allowing an attacker to inject malicious scripts. This vulnerability is mitigated by the SPIP security screen.
