Discussion

TYPO3 pmkshadowbox and pmkslimbox Cross Site Scripting and Arbitrary File Download Vulnerabilities

TYPO3 pmkshadowbox and pmkslimbox extensions are prone to an arbitrary file download and a cross-site scripting vulnerability because they fail to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

An attacker can exploit the file download issue to download arbitrary files within the context of the webserver process. Information obtained may aid in further attacks.

An attacker may leverage the cross-site scripting issue to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may let the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Versions prior to pmkshadowbox 3.2.0 and pmkslimbox 3.1.0 are vulnerable.
