Failing to properly encode user input, templates using built-in Fluid ViewHelpers are vulnerable to cross-site scripting.

When using the TYPO3 backend in order to create new backend user accounts, database records containing insecure or empty credentials might be persisted. When the type of user account is changed - which might be entity type or the admin flag for backend users - the backend form is reloaded in order to reflect changed configuration possibilities. However, this leads to persisting the current state as well, which can result into some of the following: - account contains empty login credentials (username and/or password) - account is incomplete and contains weak credentials (username and/or password) Albeit the functionality provided by the TYPO3 core cannot be used either with empty usernames or empty passwords, it still can be a severe vulnerability to custom authentication service implementations. This weakness cannot be directly exploited and requires interaction on purpose by some backend user having according privileges.

TYPO3’s built-in record registration functionality (aka “basic shopping cart”) using recs URL parameters is vulnerable to denial of service. Failing to properly ensure that anonymous user sessions are valid, attackers can use this vulnerability in order to create an arbitrary amount of individual session-data records in the database.

Online Media Asset Handling (*.youtube and *.vimeo files) in the TYPO3 backend is vulnerable to denial of service. Putting large files with according file extensions results in high consumption of system resources. This can lead to exceeding limits of the current PHP process which results in a dysfunctional backend component. A valid backend user account or write access on the server system (e.g. SFTP) is needed in order to exploit this vulnerability.

The Install Tool exposes the current TYPO3 version number to non-authenticated users.

It has been discovered that cookies created in the Install Tool are not hardened to be submitted only via HTTP. In combination with other vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting it can lead to hijacking an active and valid session in the Install Tool.

Failing to properly encode user input, login status display is vulnerable to cross-site scripting in the website frontend. A valid user account is needed in order to exploit this vulnerability - either a backend user or a frontend user having the possibility to modify their user profile. Template patterns that are affected are - ###FEUSER_[fieldName]### using system extension felogin - <!--###USERNAME###--> for regular frontend rendering (pattern can be defined individually using TypoScript setting config.USERNAME_substToken)

Failing to properly encode user input, notifications shown in modal windows in the TYPO3 backend are vulnerable to cross-site scripting. A valid backend user account is needed in order to exploit this vulnerability.

It has been discovered that the Form Framework (system extension `form`) is vulnerable to Insecure Deserialization when being used with the additional PHP PECL package `yaml`, which is capable of unserializing YAML contents to PHP objects. A valid backend user account as well as having PHP setting `yaml.decode_php` enabled is needed to exploit this vulnerability (which is the default value according to PHP documentation).

Failing to properly encode user input, online media asset rendering (*.youtube and *.vimeo files) is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. A valid backend user account or write access on the server system (e.g. SFTP) is needed in order to exploit this vulnerability.
