TYPO3 8.x < 8.7.23 / 9.x < 9.5.4 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 138890

Language:

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 8.7.23 or 9.x prior to 9.5.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
- A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Typo3's bundled, third-party component Bootstrap 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 (CVE-2018-14041).

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Typo3 due to omissions from a configuration blacklist. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary commands on an affected host.

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Typo3's RequireJS package due to a failure to configure it properly. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive information.

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 8.7.23, 9.5.4 or later.
