Spip · Spip · CVE-2016-7999
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
SPIP versions 3.1.2 and earlier
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks. This is achieved by providing a URL in the `var url` parameter within a `valider xml` action, targeting the `ecrire/exec/valider xml.php` file.
**Recommendations**
For SPIP versions 3.1.2 and earlier, consider restricting access to the `ecrire/exec/valider xml.php` file or the `valider xml` action to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `var url` parameter in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
