CVE-2012-1074
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 White Papers (mm_whtppr) extension 0.0.4 and earlier 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 White Papers (mm_whtppr) TYPO3 extension versions 0.0.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands through unspecified vectors in the extension's database queries.

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.
-
Check if the mm_whtppr extension is installedAccess the TYPO3 Extension Manager in the backend and look for 'mm_whtppr' or 'White Papers' in the list of installed extensions, or query the typo3 extension database table for this extensionAffected if The extension appears in the list of installed extensions
-
Verify the installed version of mm_whtpprIn the TYPO3 Extension Manager, view the details of the mm_whtppr extension to see its version number, or check the ext_emconf.php file in the extension directoryAffected if The version is 0.0.4 or any version lower than 0.0.4
-
Confirm the extension is active and loadedCheck the TYPO3 system extension list or the 'ext' column in the 'tt_content' or related tables if the extension adds content elements, or verify the extension is not disabled in the Extension ManagerAffected if The extension is loaded and enabled in the TYPO3 instance
-
Check if the extension database tables existQuery the TYPO3 database for tables that may have been created by the mm_whtppr extension, such as those prefixed with 'tx_mmwhtppr' or similar naming patternsAffected if The extension's database tables exist in the TYPO3 database
You are affected if the mm_whtppr extension is installed, enabled, and running at version 0.0.4 or earlier, as this version contains the SQL injection vulnerability in its database queries.

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 dataUpdate the mm_whtppr extension to a patched version if available; otherwise remove the extension from the TYPO3 installation. Alternatively, disable the extension until a fix is released and review the extension's database query code for proper parameterized queries.
