CVE-2012-1605: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

May 17, 2022 (updated August 29, 2023)

The Extbase Framework in TYPO3 4.6.x through 4.6.6, 4.7, and 6.0 unserializes untrusted data, which allows remote attackers to unserialize arbitrary objects and possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to “a missing signature (HMAC) for a request argument.”
