Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Flowplayer Flash 3.2.7 through 3.2.16, as used in the News system (news) extension for TYPO3 and Mahara, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the plugin configuration directive in a reference to an external domain plugin.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE describes a cross-site scripting flaw in legacy Flowplayer Flash 3.2.7 through 3.2.16, including use in TYPO3 News and Mahara. An attacker could cause a site to run injected script or HTML through plugin configuration that references an external domain plugin. Exposure is most likely on older web properties that still embed Flowplayer Flash 3.2.7 to 3.2.16, especially TYPO3 News extension deployments or Mahara instances that bundled or referenced the affected player. Treat this as a legacy web exposure issue. It is not KEV-listed in the bundle, but public-facing XSS can affect user trust and session security. Prioritize systems still running old Flowplayer Flash, TYPO3 News, or Mahara components. Mitigation focus: Inventory sites for Flowplayer Flash 3.2.7 through 3.2.16.; Check TYPO3, Mahara, and Flowplayer guidance for supported remediation.; Remove untrusted external-domain plugin references from player configuration..
