Typo3 : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In January 2009

The Indexed Search Engine (indexed_search) system extension in TYPO3 4.0.0 through 4.0.9, 4.1.0 through 4.1.7, and 4.2.0 through 4.2.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted filename containing shell metacharacters, which is not properly handled by the command-line indexer.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in TYPO3 4.0.0 through 4.0.9, 4.1.0 through 4.1.7, and 4.2.0 through 4.2.3 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) name and (2) content of indexed files to the (a) Indexed Search Engine (indexed_search) system extension; (b) unspecified test scripts in the ADOdb system extension; and (c) unspecified vectors in the Workspace module.

Session fixation vulnerability in the authentication library in TYPO3 4.0.0 through 4.0.9, 4.1.0 through 4.1.7, and 4.2.0 through 4.2.3 allows remote attackers to hijack web sessions via unspecified vectors related to (1) frontend and (2) backend authentication.

The System extension Install tool in TYPO3 4.0.0 through 4.0.9, 4.1.0 through 4.1.7, and 4.2.0 through 4.2.3 creates the encryption key with an insufficiently random seed, which makes it easier for attackers to crack the key.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the freeCap CAPTCHA (sr_freecap) extension before 1.0.4 for TYPO3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.
