TYPO3 ‘t3m_cumulus_tagcloud’ Extension HTML Injection and Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

The TYPO3 't3m_cumulus_tagcloud' extension is prone to HTML-injection and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage the issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, control how the site is rendered to the user, or launch other attacks.

Mitigation:

Update to the latest version of TYPO3 't3m_cumulus_tagcloud' extension to address these vulnerabilities. Additionally, validate and sanitize user-supplied input to prevent HTML-injection and cross-site scripting attacks.
