SPIP < 4.4.18 Unauthenticated Blind SQL Injection via sitemap.xml.html

8.7 HighPublic exploitFix available

CVE-2026-72708 is a high vulnerability (CVSS 8.7) in Spip, published September 11, 2026. Public exploit code exists. EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 0.52%, the 44th percentile. Fixed in spip 4.4.19+dfsg-0+deb13u1.

SPIP before 4.4.18 contains an unauthenticated blind SQL injection vulnerability in the SQL escaping layer that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary SQL by supplying a crafted annee parameter value matching a word character followed by an open parenthesis, which bypasses escaping for date-type columns across MySQL, SQLite, and PostgreSQL backends. Attackers can exploit the always-present sitemap.xml.html template's annee criterion to embed unescaped time-based or boolean payloads into database queries, enabling extraction of arbitrary database content including the alea_ephemere secret used to sign SPIP action nonces.

SPIP before 4.4.18 contains an unauthenticated blind SQL injection vulnerability in the public...

SPIP before 4.4.18 contains an unauthenticated blind SQL injection vulnerability in the public sitemap endpoint where the MySQL escaper spip_mysql_cite() in ecrire/req/mysql.php returns values unescaped when the target column is a date type and the supplied value matches the pattern of a word character followed by an open parenthesis. Attackers can supply a crafted value such as a time-based payload through the annee parameter in squelettes-dist/sitemap.xml.html to embed arbitrary SQL directly into the generated query, enabling time-based and boolean-based blind SQL injection that can expose arbitrary database content including the alea_ephemere secret used to sign action nonces.
