AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a remote code execution flaw in the private space of SPIP versions prior to 4.4.14. By sending specially crafted input, an attacker can run arbitrary code on the web server, bypassing the SPIP security screen protections. This is a code injection weakness (CWE‑94) that allows an attacker to compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects the SPIP content management system and its private space feature. All SPIP installations with versions earlier than 4.4.14 are vulnerable. No specific patch versions are listed in the data, so any version below 4.4.14 should be considered at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.7 places the vulnerability in the High severity range, indicating that exploitation can result in full control over the affected server. EPSS data is not available, so the current exploitation probability is unknown, though the lack of KEV listing suggests no publicly known exploit yet. Attackers can likely reach the vulnerable code remotely via the private space interface, assuming the site is accessible and the attack requires no user interaction. The high severity and the potential for complete system takeover make this a critical risk for organizations running SPIP without a recent update.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade SPIP to version 4.4.14 or later, which removes the remote code execution vulnerability.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, disable or limit access to the private space for all users and restrict remote input to trusted administrators only.
  • Monitor web server logs for abnormal code execution patterns or unexpected user input involving the private space and enforce strict input validation.
  • Regularly check the SPIP security advisories page and apply any subsequent patches as they become available.
