Vulnerability Types: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Open Redirection, SQL
Injection, Broken Authentication and Session Management, Insecure
Randomness, Information Disclosure, Arbitrary Code Execution


Vulnerable subcomponent #1: Backend

Vulnerability Type: Cross-Site Scripting
Severity: Medium
Suggested CVSS v2.0: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N/E:POC/RL:OF/RC:C Problem
Description: Failing to sanitize user input the TYPO3 backend is
susceptible to XSS attacks in several places. A valid backend login is
required to exploit these vulnerabilities.



Vulnerability Type: Open Redirection
Severity: High
Suggested CVSS v2.0: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N/E:POC/RL:OF/RC:C Problem
Description: Failing to sanitize user input the TYPO3 backend is
susceptible to open redirection in several places.



Vulnerability Type: SQL Injection
Severity: High
Suggested CVSS v2.0: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:N/A:N/E:POC/RL:OF/RC:C Problem
Description: Failing to properly escape user input for a database query,
some backend record editing forms are susceptible to SQL injections.
This is only exploitable by an editor who have the right to edit records
which have a special "where" query definition in TCA or records which
use the auto suggest feature available in TYPO3 versions 4.3 or higher.



Vulnerability Type: Arbitrary Code Execution
Severity: None/High (Depending on the webserver configuration)
Suggested CVSS v2.0: AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:N/E:POC/RL:OF/RC:C Problem
Description: Because of a not sufficiently secure default value of the
TYPO3 configuration variable fileDenyPattern allows backend users to
upload files with .phtml file extension which may be executed as PHP
with certain webserver setups. The new default value for the
fileDenyPattern now is: \.(php[3-6]?|phpsh|phtml)(\..*)?$|^\.htaccess$



Vulnerability Type: Information Disclosure
Severity: Low
Suggested CVSS v2.0: AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:OF/RC:C
Problem Description: If an extension with a defective backend module is
installed, TYPO3 will issue a error message which reveals the complete
path to the web root.



Vulnerability Type: Information Disclosure/ Cross-Site Scripting
Severity: Low
Suggested CVSS v2.0: AV:N/AC:H/Au:M/C:C/I:C/A:C/E:U/RL:OF/RC:C
Problem Description: Failing to properly validate and escape user input,
the Extension Manager is susceptible to XSS. Additionally by forging a
special request parameter it is possible to view (and edit under special
conditions) the contents of every file the webserver has access to. A
valid admin user login is requred to exploit this vulnerability.




Vulnerable subcomponent #2: User authentication


Vulnerability Type: Insecure Randomness
Severity: Very Low
Suggested CVSS v2.0: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N/E:U/RL:OF/RC:C
Problem Description: As a precaution to PHP's weak randomness in the
uniqid() function, the random byte generation function
t3lib_div::generateRandomBytes() has been vastly improved, especially
for Windows systems. In addition TYPO3 now uses this function to
generate a session id for frontend and backend authentication instead of
PHP's uniqid().
Note: Nevertheless the probability of guessing the session id was very
low even before this improvement.




Vulnerable subcomponent #3: Frontend


Vulnerability Type: Spam Abuse
Severity: High
Suggested CVSS v2.0: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:N/E:POC/RL:OF/RC:C
Problem Description: Failing to check the for valid parameters, the
native form content element is susceptible to spam abuse. An attacker
could abuse the form to send mails to arbitrary email addresses.



Vulnerability Type: Header Injection
Severity: Low/High (depending on the PHP version used)
Suggested CVSS v2.0: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N/E:POC/RL:OF/RC:C
Problem Description: Failing to sanitize user input, secure download
feature (jumpurl) of TYPO3 is susceptible to header injection /
manipulation.
Note: Since PHP versions 4.4.2 or higher and 5.1.2 or higher it is no
longer possible to send more than one header at once. This mitigates the
impact of this vulnerability, making it only possible to spoof the mime
type of the download.




Vulnerable subcomponent #4: Frontend Login


Vulnerability Type: Open Redirection, Cross-Site Scripting
Severity: High
Suggested CVSS v2.0: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N/E:POC/RL:OF/RC:C
Problem Description: Failing to sanitize user input the frontend login
box is susceptible to Open Redirection and Cross-Site scripting.



Vulnerability Type: Insecure Randomness
Severity: High
Suggested CVSS v2.0: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N/E:U/RL:OF/RC:C
Problem Description: The "forgot password" function generates a hash
which is verified to authenticate the password change request. Because
of very low randomness while generating the hash, especially on Windows
systems, brute forcing the hash value is possible in a short timeframe.



Vulnerable subcomponent #5: Install Tool


Vulnerability Type: Broken Authentication and Session Management
Severity: Low
Suggested CVSS v2.0: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:N/E:POC/RL:OF/RC:C
Problem Description: TYPO3 authenticates install tool users without
invalidating a supplied session identifier. Therefore, TYPO3 is open for
session fixation attacks, making an attacker able to hijack a victim's
session.



Vulnerable subcomponent #6: FLUID Templating Engine


Vulnerability Type: Cross-Site Scripting
Severity: Low
Suggested CVSS v2.0: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N/E:POC/RL:OF/RC:C
Problem Description: Failing to escape the output, using the textarea
view helper in an extbase extension leads to a XSS vulnerability if the
extension author does not take care of escaping the output.



Vulnerable subcomponent #7: Mailing API


Vulnerability Type: Information Disclosure
Severity: Very Low
Suggested CVSS v2.0: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N/E:POC/RL:OF/RC:C
Problem Description: The TYPO3 HTML mailing API class t3lib_htmlmail
includes the exact version number of the TYPO3 installation in the mail
header.
