**Release Date:** March 03, 2016

**Component Type:** Third party extension. This extension is not a part of the TYPO3 default installation.

**Affected Versions:**  version 1.0.1 and below

**Vulnerability Type:** Information Disclosure

**Severity:** Medium

**Suggested CVSS v2.0:** [AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:N/A:N/E:H/RL:U/RC:C](http://jvnrss.ise.chuo-u.ac.jp/jtg/cvss/cvss2.cgi?vector=(AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:N/A:N/E:H/RL:U/RC:C) "CVSS calculator") ([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"))

**Problem Description:** The extension saves t3d exports to a public folder. This could lead to an information disclosure.

**Solution:** Versions of this extension that are known to be vulnerable will no longer be available for download from the TYPO3 Extension Repository. The extension is no longer maintained and the author will not provide a security fix for the reported vulnerability. Please uninstall and delete the extension from your installation.

**Important note:** You have to remove existing t3d files from your fileadmin folder manually!

**Credits:** Credits go to the security team member Helmut Hummel who discovered and reported the vulnerability.

**General advice:** Follow the recommendations that are given in the [TYPO3 Security Guide](http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/SecurityGuide/ "Initiates file download"). Please subscribe to the [typo3-announce mailing list](http://lists.typo3.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/typo3-announce "Opens external link in new window") to receive future Security Bulletins via E-mail.
