Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Serendipity versions prior to 2.0.2

Description The issue allows remote administrators to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This is possible when the "Use Tokens for Comment Moderation" feature is enabled. The serendipity[id] parameter in the "serendipity admin.php" endpoint is vulnerable to SQL injection.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.0.2, update to version 2.0.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the "Use Tokens for Comment Moderation" feature until a patch is available.
