CVE History

CVEPublishedCVSS v3CVSS v2
7.2 HIGH

Serendipity is a PHP-powered weblog engine. In versions 2.6-beta2 and below, the email sending functionality in include/functions.inc.php inserts $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] directly into the Message-ID SMTP header without validation, and the existing sanitization function serendipity_isResponseClean() is not called on HTTP_HOST before embedding it. An attacker who can control the Host header during an email-triggering action such as comment notifications or subscription emails can inject arbitrary SMTP headers into outgoing emails. This enables identity spoofing, reply hijacking via manipulated Message-ID threading, and email reputation abuse through the attacker's domain being embedded in legitimate mail headers. This issue has been fixed in version 2.6.0.

6.9 MEDIUM

Serendipity is a PHP-powered weblog engine. In versions 2.6-beta2 and below, the serendipity_setCookie() function in include/functions_config.inc.php uses $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] without validation as the domain parameter of setcookie(). An attacker who can influence the Host header at login time, such as via MITM, reverse proxy misconfiguration, or load balancer manipulation, can force authentication cookies including session tokens and auto-login tokens to be scoped to an attacker-controlled domain. This enables session fixation, token leakage to attacker-controlled infrastructure, and privilege escalation if an admin logs in under a poisoned Host header. This issue has been fixed in version 2.6.0.

9.8 CRITICAL7.5 HIGH

Serendipity before 2.3.4 on Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code because the filename of a renamed file may end with a dot. This file may then be renamed to have a .php filename.

4.3 MEDIUM

Serendipity before 2.1.5 has XSS via EXIF data that is mishandled in the templates/2k11/admin/media_choose.tpl Editor Preview feature or the templates/2k11/admin/media_items.tpl Media Library feature.

3.5 LOW

Stored XSS in Serendipity v2.1-rc1 allows an attacker to steal an admin's cookie and other information by composing a new entry as an editor user. This is related to lack of the serendipity_event_xsstrust plugin and a set_config error in that plugin.

6.8 MEDIUM

There is CSRF in Serendipity 2.0.5, allowing attackers to install any themes via a GET request.

6.5 MEDIUM

SQL injection vulnerability in include/functions_entries.inc.php in Serendipity 2.0.5 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the cat parameter.

6.8 MEDIUM

comment.php in Serendipity through 2.0.5 allows CSRF in deleting any comments.

6.8 MEDIUM

Serendipity through 2.0.5 allows CSRF for the installation of an event plugin or a sidebar plugin.

5.8 MEDIUM

Open redirect vulnerability in comment.php in Serendipity through 2.0.5 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via a URL in the HTTP Referer header.

7.5 HIGH

include/functions_installer.inc.php in Serendipity through 2.0.5 is vulnerable to File Inclusion and a possible Code Execution attack during a first-time installation because it fails to sanitize the dbType POST parameter before adding it to an include() call in the bundled-libs/serendipity_generateFTPChecksums.php file.

3.5 LOW

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Serendipity before 2.0.5 allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a category or directory name.

5 MEDIUM

In Serendipity before 2.0.5, an attacker can bypass SSRF protection by using a malformed IP address (e.g., http://127.1) or a 30x (aka Redirection) HTTP status code.

3.5 LOW

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in templates/2k11/admin/entries.tpl in Serendipity before 2.0.1 allows remote authenticated editors to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the serendipity[cat][name] parameter to serendipity_admin.php, when creating a new category.

4.3 MEDIUM

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in templates/2k11/admin/overview.inc.tpl in Serendipity before 2.0-rc2 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a blog comment in the QUERY_STRING to serendipity/index.php.

4.3 MEDIUM

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in serendipity/serendipity_admin_image_selector.php in Serendipity before 1.6.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the serendipity[textarea] parameter. NOTE: this issue might be resultant from cross-site request forgery (CSRF).

7.5 HIGH

SQL injection vulnerability in include/functions_trackbacks.inc.php in Serendipity 1.6.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the url parameter to comment.php.
