Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the function menu API in TYPO3 4.5.x before 4.5.21, 4.6.x before 4.6.14, and 4.7.x before 4.7.6 allows remote authenticated backend users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a backend cross-site scripting issue in older TYPO3 releases. A logged-in backend user could inject script or HTML through the function menu API. The main business concern is risk to administrator sessions and backend integrity where legacy TYPO3 4.5, 4.6, or 4.7 remains in use. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running the listed legacy TYPO3 branches and allowing backend access to users beyond fully trusted administrators. Internet exposure of the public site alone is not enough evidence for vulnerability. Treat this as a legacy platform hygiene issue with moderate urgency. It is not cited as actively exploited, but affected TYPO3 backend environments could put privileged sessions and content administration at risk. Mitigation focus: Upgrade TYPO3 4.5.x to 4.5.21 or later.; Upgrade TYPO3 4.6.x to 4.6.14 or later.; Upgrade TYPO3 4.7.x to 4.7.6 or later..
