(CVE-2020-28984)

Charles Fol and Théo Gordyjan discovered that SPIP is vulnerable to Cross
Site Scripting (XSS). If a user were tricked into browsing a malicious SVG

code. This issue was only fixed in Ubuntu 21.10. (CVE-2021-44118,
CVE-2021-44120, CVE-2021-44122, CVE-2021-44123)

authenticated editor could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code,
and a remote unauthenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain
sensitive information. (CVE-2022-26846, CVE-2022-26847)

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 21.10:
