Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Remote code execution (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14251)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: 9.4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H]


The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

The weakness exists due to the fileDenyPattern is missing the 'pht' extension. A remote attacker can upload a '.pht' file and potentially execute arbitrary code on the target system, depending on the web server configuration.

2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: N/A)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: 5.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.

The weakness exists due to improper check of user permissions on file storage. A remote attacker with editor privileges can gain access to arbitrary data on the target system.

3) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: N/A)

CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

CVSSv4: 5.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N]


The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.


4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: N/A)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: 5.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.

The weakness exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the TYPO3 API, trick the victim into opening it and view potentially sensitive version information on the target system.
