**Release Date:** May 31, 2016

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

**Affected Versions:** version 7.4.8 and below

**Vulnerability Type:** SQL Injection

**Severity:** Medium

**Suggested CVSS v2.0:** [AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P/E:F/RL:O/RC:C](http://jvnrss.ise.chuo-u.ac.jp/jtg/cvss/cvss2.cgi?vector=%28AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P/E:F/RL:O/RC:C%29&g=2&lang=en "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 fails to properly sanitize user input and is vulnerable to SQL Injection. This vulnerability is only exploitable if the Development Reporting System (DRS) is enabled and any filter is used. DRS is disabled by default.

**Solution:** An updated version 7.5.0 is available from the TYPO3 Extension Manager and at [https://typo3.org/extensions/repository/download/browser/7.5.0/t3x/](https://typo3.org/extensions/repository/download/browser/7.5.0/t3x/ "Opens external link in new window"). Users of the extension are advised to update the extension as soon as possible.

**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.
