Summary

CVE-2024-7954 is a critical-severity Eval Injection (CWE-95) vulnerability in Spip (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique JavaScript (T1059.007); ranked in the top 0.2% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

The porte_plume plugin in SPIP versions prior to 4.30-alpha2, 4.2.13, and 4.1.16 contains an arbitrary code execution vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-7954. The flaw, assigned CVSS 9.8 and mapped to CWE-95 and CWE-1286, resides in the plugin's handling of crafted input that is later evaluated as PHP.

A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit the issue by sending a single malicious HTTP request, resulting in arbitrary PHP execution under the privileges of the SPIP web server user and full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Official SPIP advisories direct administrators to upgrade immediately to 4.3.0-alpha2, 4.2.13, or 4.1.16; third-party analyses at thinkloveshare.com and vulncheck.com confirm the pre-authentication vector and the necessity of the patch. The associated EPSS score remains elevated near 0.93 with no documented low-to-high trajectory after disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and code analysis can discover eval-injection flaws but does not stop their introduction.

Input validation explicitly requires neutralizing untrusted data before it reaches dynamic evaluation constructs such as eval.

Secure-development standards and tools can mandate safe coding patterns that avoid unsafe dynamic evaluation.

Application security requirements include rules against dynamic code execution of untrusted input.

prevents

Secure architecture principles discourage unsafe dynamic evaluation constructs.

prevents

Secure coding explicitly requires neutralization of input before dynamic evaluation, directly mitigating eval injection.

none

Separation of environments limits the blast radius if eval injection occurs in non-production.
