The intention of CSBs is to reduce the workload of the TYPO3 Security Team and of the maintainers of extensions with vulnerabilities. Nevertheless, vulnerabilities in TYPO3 core or important extensions will still get the well-known single Security Bulletin each. Please read our [buzz blog post](http://buzz.typo3.org/teams/security/article/collective-security-bulletins-csb-the-reason-for/), which has a detailed explanation on CSBs. All vulnerabilities affect third-party extensions. These extensions are not part of the TYPO3 default installation. **Extension:** Crop and Square Thumbnails (tkcropthumbs) **Affected Versions:** 1.2.4 and all versions below **Vulnerability Type:** SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting **Severity:** High **Suggested CVSS v2.0:** [AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:N/A:N/E:F/RL:OF/RC:C](http://jvnrss.ise.chuo-u.ac.jp/jtg/cvss/cvss2.cgi?vector=%28AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:N/A:N/E:F/RL:OF/RC:C%29&g=2&lang=en "Opens external link in new window") ([What's that?](http://buzz.typo3.org/teams/security/article/use-of-common-vulnerability-scoring-system-in-typo3-security-advisories/ "Blog post on CVSS usage")) **Solution:** An update (version 1.2.5) is available from the TYPO3 extension manager and at[http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/tkcropthumbs/1.2.5/](http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/tkcropthumbs/1.2.5/ "Opens external link in new window").
