Discussion

TYPO3 Powermail Extension HTML Injection Vulnerability

The TYPO3 Powermail extension is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

An attacker may exploit the HTML-injection issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, control how the site is displayed, and launch other attacks.

TYPO3 Powermail versions 1.6.6 and prior are vulnerable.
