prive/formulaires/configurer_preferences.php in SPIP before 3.2.8 does not properly validate the couleur, display, display_navigation, display_outils, imessage, and spip_ecran parameters.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - prive/formulaires/configurer_preferences.php in SPIP before 3.2.8 does not properly validate the couleur,     display, display_navigation, display_outils, imessage, and spip_ecran parameters. (CVE-2020-28984)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

According to its self-reported version, the instance of SPIP CMS running on the remote web server is prior to 3.1.14 or 3.2.x prior to 3.2.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiples vulnerabilities : 
 - An SQL injection vulnerabilities at /ecrire via the lier_trad and where parameters
 - A PHP code injection via the _oups parameter at /ecrire
 - HTML Injection in the component /spip.php.

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 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.

It was found that spip, a website engine for publishing, did not correctly validate its input (couleur, display, display_navigation, display_outils, imessage, and spip_ecran) allowing authenticated users to execute arbitrary code.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 3.1.4-4~deb9u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your spip packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

It was discovered that SPIP, a website engine for publishing, did not correctly validate its input. This would allow authenticated users to execute arbitrary code.
