TYPO3 Indexed Search Module vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery
The advisory, in context
Problem
A vulnerability has been identified in the backend user interface functionality involving deep links. Specifically, this functionality is susceptible to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). Additionally, state-changing actions in downstream components incorrectly accepted submissions via HTTP GET and did not enforce the appropriate HTTP method.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires the victim to have an active session on the backend user interface and to be deceived into interacting with a malicious URL targeting the backend, which can occur under the following conditions:
- the user opens a malicious link, such as one sent via email.
- the user visits a compromised or manipulated website while the following settings are misconfigured:
security.backend.enforceReferrerfeature is disabled,BE/cookieSameSiteconfiguration is set tolaxornone
The vulnerability in the affected downstream component “Indexed Search Module” allows attackers to delete items of the component.
Solution
Update to TYPO3 versions 11.5.42 ELTS, 12.4.25 LTS, 13.4.3 LTS that fix the problem described.
Credits
