- TYPO3 core component GeneralUtility::getIndpEnv() uses the unfiltered server environment variable
PATH_INFO, which allows attackers to inject malicious content. In combination with the TypoScript setting
config.absRefPrefix=auto, attackers can inject malicious HTML code into pages that have not yet been
rendered and cached. As a result, injected values would be cached and delivered to other website visitors
(persisted cross-site scripting). Individual code which relies on the resolved value of
GeneralUtility::getIndpEnv('SCRIPT_NAME') and corresponding usages (as shown below) are vulnerable as
well. GeneralUtility::getIndpEnv('PATH_INFO') GeneralUtility::getIndpEnv('SCRIPT_NAME')
GeneralUtility::getIndpEnv('TYPO3_REQUEST_DIR') GeneralUtility::getIndpEnv('TYPO3_REQUEST_SCRIPT')
GeneralUtility::getIndpEnv('TYPO3_SITE_PATH') GeneralUtility::getIndpEnv('TYPO3_SITE_SCRIPT')
GeneralUtility::getIndpEnv('TYPO3_SITE_URL') Installations of TYPO3 versions 8.7 and 9.x are probably only
affected when server environment variable TYPO3_PATH_ROOT is defined - which is the case if they were
installed via Composer. Additional investigations confirmed that Apache and Microsoft IIS web servers
using PHP-CGI (FPM, FCGI/FastCGI, or similar) are affected. There might be the risk that nginx is
vulnerable as well. It was not possible to exploit Apache/mod_php scenarios. (CVE-2023-24814)

number.");
