What is CVE-2020-28984?

In SPIP versions prior to 3.2.8, an input validation issue exists in the user preferences configuration file, specifically within the prive/formulaires/configurer_preferences.php. This flaw allows improper handling of parameters, including couleur, display, display_navigation, display_outils, imessage, and spip_ecran, which could potentially lead to unexpected behavior and security risks. Updating to the latest version is crucial to mitigate these vulnerabilities.
