USN-5482-2 (UBUNTU-CVE-2021-44118)
Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2023-03-02 10:15 – Updated: 2026-04-27 14:11 – Source websiteUSN-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.
Original advisory details:
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 Théo 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)
