Descriptions

SPIP before 3.1.11 and 3.2 before 3.2.5 provides different error messages from the password-reminder page depending on whether an e-mail address exists, which might help attackers to enumerate subscribers.

SPIP versiones anteriores a 3.1.11 y versiones 3.2 anteriores a 3.2.5, proporciona diferentes mensajes de error desde la página password-reminder dependiendo de si existe una dirección de correo electrónico, que podría ayudar a atacantes para enumerar suscriptores.

Youssouf Boulouiz discovered that SPIP incorrectly handled login error messages. A remote attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting attacks. Gilles Vincent discovered that SPIP incorrectly handled password reset requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause SPIP to enumerate registered users. Guillaume Fahrner discovered that SPIP did not properly sanitize input. A remote authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code on the host server. Various other issues were also addressed.
