SPIP < 4.4.10 SQL Injection RCE via Union & PHP Tags
SPIP versions prior to 4.4.10 contain a SQL injection vulnerability that allows authenticated low-privilege users to execute arbitrary SQL queries by manipulating union-based injection techniques. Attackers can exploit this SQL injection flaw combined with PHP tag processing to achieve remote code execution on the server.
