Discussion

TYPO3 WEC Discussion Extension SQL Injection and Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

The 'wec_discussion' extension for TYPO3 is prone to multiple SQL-injection vulnerabilities and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

Exploiting these issues could allow an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

These issues affect versions prior to 'wec_discussion' 1.7.1.
