TYPO3 8.x < 8.7.25 / 9.x < 9.5.6 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 138797

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of TYPO3 installed on the remote host is 8.x prior to 8.7.25 or 9.x prior to 9.5.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Typo3's image processing functionality due to a failure to properly configure applications it delegates this to. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary commands on an affected host (CVE-2019-11832).

- A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the typo3/fluid package due to improper validation of user-supplied input before returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to click a specially crafted URL, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session.

- A session hijacking vulnerability exists in Typo3's password change functionality due to a failure to properly clean up sessions. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to perform actions in the user or administrator interface with the privileges of another user.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version

Solution

Upgrade to TYPO3 8.7.25, 9.5.6 or later.
