Unauthenticated code execution via injected template filters
Published Aug 21, 2026 · Updated Aug 21, 2026
Code injection in SPIP before 4.4.21 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through a crafted X-Spip-Filtre header. In forum preview processing, analyse_resultat_skel() extracts attacker-controlled filter names from the compiled template body and invokes them as PHP functions. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the demonstrated intval|_request|system chain executes an attacker-supplied command under the web server account.

Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
