Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

TYPO3 3.8.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to misc/phpcheck/, which invokes the phpinfo function and prints values of unspecified environment variables.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for typo3/cms, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update typo3/cms to 3.8.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2005-4875 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2005-4875 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Tailored to CVE-2005-4875. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
