AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
TYPO3 Form Content Element allows authenticated editors to forge HMAC signatures, bypassing access restrictions in versions 4.5-6.1.
Vulnerability
The old Form Content Element component in TYPO3 versions 4.5.0 to 4.5.31, 4.7.0 to 4.7.16, 6.0.0 to 6.0.11, and 6.1.0 to 6.1.6 allows authenticated editors to generate arbitrary HMAC signatures and bypass intended access restrictions via unspecified vectors [1][2][3]. The issue stems from failing to check user permissions when processing requests, enabling the forging of URL parameters [2].
Exploitation
An attacker must be an authenticated editor with access to the Form Content Element component. By crafting specific URL parameters, they can generate HMAC signatures that bypass access control checks [3]. No detailed exploit sequence is publicly available.
Impact
Successful exploitation allows the attacker to bypass access restrictions, potentially reading or modifying content from TYPO3 table columns that they are not authorized to access [2]. The impact is limited to authenticated editors, but could lead to information disclosure or unauthorized changes.
Mitigation
Upgrade to TYPO3 versions 4.5.32, 4.7.17, 6.0.12, or 6.1.7, which were released on December 10, 2013, and fix the vulnerability [1][2]. No workaround is available; updating is the recommended solution [2].
