Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- TYPO3 is an open source PHP based web content management system released under the GNU GPL. In affected
versions failing to properly parse, sanitize and encode malicious rich-text content, the content rendering
process in the website frontend is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. Corresponding rendering
instructions via TypoScript functionality HTMLparser does not consider all potentially malicious HTML tag
& attribute combinations per default. In default scenarios, a valid backend user account is needed to
exploit this vulnerability. In case custom plugins used in the website frontend accept and reflect rich-
text content submitted by users, no authentication is required. Update to TYPO3 versions 7.6.53 ELTS,
