A CRITICAL flaw was discovered recently in SPIP, allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
It affects SPIP 3.1.x and 3.2 versions (alpha & beta), and impacts all websites using these versions.
SPIP 3.0.x and earlier versions are not affected by this issue.
It is imperative to update your SPIP website as soon as possible.
In the meantime, the security screen version 1.3.2 will block possible exploitations of the vulnerability. Updating the security screen remains a transitional measure that should not prevent you from updating SPIP as soon as possible.
The team thanks Emeric Boit and ANSSI for identifying and reporting the issue.
