CVE-2010-0329
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedSQL injection vulnerability in the powermail extension 1.5.1 and earlier for TYPO3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified vectors related to the "SQL selection field" and "typoscript."
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 · high confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in the powermail TYPO3 extension (versions 1.5.1 and earlier) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the SQL selection field and typoscript configuration inputs. The vulnerability is exploitable without authentication and allows complete database compromise.

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.
-
Confirm powermail extension is installedCheck the TYPO3 Extension Manager or inspect the directory typo3conf/ext/powermail for the presence of the powermail extension filesAffected if The powermail extension directory exists in the TYPO3 installation
-
Determine installed powermail versionLocate the ext_emconf.php file within the powermail extension directory and read the version field, or check the version displayed in the TYPO3 Extension Manager backendAffected if The installed version is 1.5.1 or lower, or matches any of these: 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.0.4, 1.0.5, 1.0.6, 1.0.7, 1.0.8, 1.0.9, 1.0.10, or 1.0.11
-
Verify if SQL selection fields are in useReview the powermail plugin configuration in the TYPO3 backend or inspect the typoscript setup for powermail SQL selection field definitionsAffected if SQL selection fields are configured in the powermail plugin and accessible to frontend users
-
Inspect typoscript configuration for vulnerable parametersReview the typoscript configuration for the powermail extension, specifically looking for SQL-related parameters in the plugin setupAffected if Typoscript contains SQL selection or query parameters that can be influenced by user input
If powermail version is 1.5.1 or lower and SQL selection fields or typoscript SQL parameters are configured, the installation is vulnerable to CVE-2010-0329.

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 dataUpgrade powermail extension to a version newer than 1.5.1, or apply input validation/sanitization to SQL selection fields and typoscript configurations to prevent SQL injection.
