CVE-2026-27744
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe SPIP tickets plugin versions prior to 4.3.3 contain an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the forum preview handling for public ticket pages. The plugin appends untrusted request parameters into HTML that is later rendered by a template using unfiltered environment rendering (#ENV**), which disables SPIP output filtering. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker can inject crafted content that is evaluated through SPIP's template processing chain, leading to execution of code in the context of the web server.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe SPIP tickets plugin versions before 4.3.3 have an unauthenticated RCE vulnerability in the forum preview handling for public ticket pages. The plugin appends untrusted request parameters directly into HTML rendered by a template using unfiltered environment rendering (#ENV**), which disables SPIP's output filtering. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious content through SPIP's template processing chain, achieving code execution in the web server context.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify SPIP tickets plugin installation and versionAccess the SPIP administration panel, navigate to the plugin management section, and locate the tickets plugin to view its installed version number. Alternatively, check the plugin's main PHP file or manifest.xml for the version declaration.Affected if The tickets plugin is installed and its version number is below 4.3.3
-
Verify public ticket pages are accessibleConfirm that the tickets plugin's public-facing pages are enabled and reachable. This typically involves checking the plugin configuration in SPIP or attempting to access a public ticket URL.Affected if Public ticket pages are accessible without authentication, enabling the attack surface for the forum preview vulnerability
-
Confirm forum preview functionality is activeCheck whether the forum preview feature is enabled within the tickets plugin settings or SPIP's forum configuration. The vulnerability exists in the forum preview handling for public ticket pages.Affected if The forum preview feature is enabled on public ticket pages, allowing untrusted input to be processed through the vulnerable template rendering path
You are affected if the SPIP tickets plugin is installed with a version lower than 4.3.3 and public ticket pages with forum preview functionality are accessible.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped4.3.3
Upgrade the SPIP tickets plugin to version 4.3.3 or later to obtain the patched version with proper output filtering.
Tickets plugin version 4.3.3
- 1. Identify the SPIP installation and locate the tickets plugin directory (typically in plugins/ or extensions/)
- 2. Backup the current tickets plugin directory and database before making changes
- 3. Download the fixed tickets plugin version 4.3.3 from the official SPIP plugins repository at plugins.spip.net or git.spip.net
- 4. Replace the existing tickets plugin folder with the new version 4.3.3
- 5. Clear any SPIP caches via the private area (Maintenance > Clear cache) or by deleting tmp/cache/ directory
- 6. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the plugin version in the SPIP administration panel
- 7. Test that the tickets functionality works correctly and that the vulnerability is no longer exploitable
