Summary
The file search of the TYPO3 extension File manager (ameos_filemanager) builds its database conditions by wrapping the search term in quotes itself. Only the LIKE wildcard characters are escaped, so quote characters are not, and a crafted search term can change the database query (CWE-89). An unauthenticated remote attacker can read data from the database. The issue affects every searched field.

Description from the CNA
The file search of the extension builds its database conditions by wrapping the search term in quotes itself. Only the wildcard characters of the LIKE operator are escaped, quote characters are not. A crafted search term can therefore leave the intended string value and change the database query. This allows an attacker to read data from the database. The issue affects every searched field.
