How to Fix CVE-2013-7082

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Neos/flow dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

neos/flow fixed: 1.1.1 
Upgrade neos/flow to 1.1.1
neos/flow fixed: 2.0.1 
Upgrade neos/flow to 2.0.1
typo3/flow fixed: 1.1.1 
Upgrade typo3/flow to 1.1.1
typo3/flow fixed: 2.0.1 
Upgrade typo3/flow to 2.0.1
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for neos/flow

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2013-7082, inspect your project dependencies for Neos/flow:

inspect dependencies for neos/flow

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Neos/flow in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.1.1), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'), where the product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. In Neos/flow, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the errorAction method in the ActionController base class in TYPO3 Flow (formerly FLOW3) 1.1.x before 1.1.1 and 2.0.x before 2.0.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified input, which is returned in an error message.
