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

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

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)

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.
