NVD · uneditedSQL injection vulnerability in the pmk_rssnewsexport extension for TYPO3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified vectors.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in the pmk_rssnewsexport extension for TYPO3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified input vectors. The vulnerability stems from improper sanitization of user-supplied data in database queries, enabling attackers to manipulate SQL statements.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if pmk_rssnewsexport extension is installedCheck the TYPO3 extension manager or inspect the typo3conf/ext/ directory for a folder named pmk_rssnewsexportAffected if The extension folder exists in the TYPO3 extensions directory
-
Verify the extension is enabledIn TYPO3 backend, go to Extension Manager > Installed Extensions and check if pmk_rssnewsexport is listed as active, or inspect the ext_emconf.php file for loaded statusAffected if The extension is loaded and active in TYPO3
-
Confirm extension versionRead the ext_emconf.php or composer.json file within the pmk_rssnewsexport extension directory to determine the version numberAffected if Any version of pmk_rssnewsexport is installed (all versions are affected)
-
Check for unusual database query behaviorReview extension PHP source files in pi1/class.tx_pmkrssnewsexport_pi1.php or similar for direct use of $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST variables in SQL queries without escapingAffected if User-supplied parameters are used directly in database queries without sanitization
If the pmk_rssnewsexport extension is installed and active in TYPO3, the environment is affected since all versions contain the SQL injection vulnerability.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. If the extension is unmaintained, remove or replace it with a secure alternative.
