SPIP 4.0.0 is affected by a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. To exploit the vulnerability, a visitor must browse to a malicious SVG file. The vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker to inject malicious code running on the client side into web pages visited by other users (stored XSS).

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

  - SPIP 4.0.0 is affected by a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. To exploit the vulnerability, a     visitor must browse to a malicious SVG file. The vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker to inject     malicious code running on the client side into web pages visited by other users (stored XSS).
    (CVE-2021-44118)

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 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)
