Other vulnerabilities in Serendipity
See all- CVE-2026-73628Medium
Serendipity versions >= 2.3.5 and <= 2.6.0 contain a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the search clean-URL route (/search/<term>). In include/functions_routing.inc.php serveSearch(), the sanitisation pipeline runs urldecode() after HTML-encoding, so a single URL-encoded HTML payload survives strip_tags() and htmlspecialchars() and is then decoded back into live HTML in the page. A crafted search link can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser. Fixed in 2.6.1.
- CVE-2017-8101High
There is a CSRF vulnerability in Serendipity version 2.0.5 that allows attackers to install any themes via a GET request.
- CVE-2017-5609High
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.
- CVE-2017-5476High
Serendipity version 2.0.5 allows CSRF attacks that enable the installation of an event plugin or a sidebar plugin.
- CVE-2016-9752High
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.
- CVE-2026-73629High
Serendipity before 2.6.0 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the serendipity_url_allowed() filter that fails to block hex-encoded IPv4 addresses, IPv6 literals, and link-local ranges. Authenticated users with adminImagesAdd permission can bypass the filter using alternate address formats to request internal services and retrieve response bodies through the public uploads directory.
- CVE-2026-67351High
Serendipity before version 2.6.1 has an authentication context confusion vulnerability where password validation and session loading operate independently. An authenticated Editor can create a username collision with an Administrator account and obtain administrative privileges by logging in with their own password while the session loads the Administrator's account data.
