{"id":"GHSA-m5vr-3m74-jwxp","summary":"Missing Required Cryptographic Step Leading to Sensitive Information Disclosure in TYPO3 CMS","details":"\u003e ### Meta\n\u003e * CVSS: `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:F/RL:O/RC:C` (8.2)\n\u003e * CWE-325, CWE-20, CWE-200, CWE-502\n\n### Problem\nIt has been discovered that an internal verification mechanism can be used to generate arbitrary checksums. This allows to inject arbitrary data having a valid cryptographic message authentication code (HMAC-SHA1) and can lead to various attack chains as described below.\n\n* [TYPO3-CORE-SA-2020-007](https://typo3.org/security/advisory/typo3-core-sa-2020-007), [CVE-2020-15099](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-15099): Potential Privilege Escalation\n  + the database server used for a TYPO3 installation must be accessible for an attacker (either via internet or shared hosting network)\n  + `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:F/RL:O/RC:C` (7.5, high)\n* [TYPO3-CORE-SA-2016-013](https://typo3.org/security/advisory/typo3-core-sa-2016-013), [CVE-2016-5091](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2016-5091): Insecure Deserialization & Remote Code Execution\n  + an attacker must have access to at least one Extbase plugin or module action in a TYPO3 installation\n  + `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:F/RL:O/RC:C` (9.1, critical)\n\nThe overall severity of this vulnerability is **high (8.2)** based on mentioned attack chains and the requirement of having a valid backend user session (authenticated).\n\n### Solution\nUpdate to TYPO3 versions 9.5.20 or 10.4.6 that fix the problem described.\n\n### Credits\nThanks to TYPO3 security team member Oliver Hader who reported and fixed the issue.\n\n### References\n* [TYPO3-CORE-SA-2020-008](https://typo3.org/security/advisory/typo3-core-sa-2020-008)","aliases":["BIT-typo3-2020-15098","CVE-2020-15098"],"modified":"2026-07-08T06:01:01.686168987Z","published":"2020-07-29T16:15:19Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2020-07-29T16:14:21Z","nvd_published_at":"2020-07-29T17:15:00Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-20","CWE-200","CWE-325","CWE-327","CWE-502"],"severity":"HIGH"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/TYPO3/TYPO3.CMS/security/advisories/GHSA-m5vr-3m74-jwxp"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2016-5091"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-15098"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/TYPO3/TYPO3.CMS/commit/85d3e70dff35a99ef53f4b561114acfa9e5c47e1"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/security-advisories/blob/master/typo3/cms-core/CVE-2020-15098.yaml"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/security-advisories/blob/master/typo3/cms/CVE-2020-15098.yaml"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/TYPO3/TYPO3.CMS"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://typo3.org/security/advisory/typo3-core-sa-2016-013"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://typo3.org/security/advisory/typo3-core-sa-2020-008"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"typo3/cms-core","ecosystem":"Packagist","purl":"pkg:composer/typo3/cms-core"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"9.0.0"},{"fixed":"9.5.20"}]}],"versions":["v9.0.0","v9.1.0","v9.2.0","v9.2.1","v9.3.0","v9.3.1","v9.3.2","v9.3.3","v9.4.0","v9.5.0","v9.5.1","v9.5.10","v9.5.11","v9.5.12","v9.5.13","v9.5.14","v9.5.15","v9.5.16","v9.5.17","v9.5.18","v9.5.19","v9.5.2","v9.5.3","v9.5.4","v9.5.5","v9.5.6","v9.5.7","v9.5.8","v9.5.9"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2020/07/GHSA-m5vr-3m74-jwxp/GHSA-m5vr-3m74-jwxp.json"}},{"package":{"name":"typo3/cms-core","ecosystem":"Packagist","purl":"pkg:composer/typo3/cms-core"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"10.0.0"},{"fixed":"10.4.6"}]}],"versions":["v10.0.0","v10.1.0","v10.2.0","v10.2.1","v10.2.2","v10.3.0","v10.4.0","v10.4.1","v10.4.2","v10.4.3","v10.4.4","v10.4.5"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2020/07/GHSA-m5vr-3m74-jwxp/GHSA-m5vr-3m74-jwxp.json"}},{"package":{"name":"typo3/cms","ecosystem":"Packagist","purl":"pkg:composer/typo3/cms"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"10.0.0"},{"fixed":"10.4.6"}]}],"versions":["v10.0.0","v10.1.0","v10.2.0","v10.2.1","v10.2.2","v10.3.0","v10.4.0","v10.4.1","v10.4.2","v10.4.3","v10.4.4","v10.4.5"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2020/07/GHSA-m5vr-3m74-jwxp/GHSA-m5vr-3m74-jwxp.json"}},{"package":{"name":"typo3/cms","ecosystem":"Packagist","purl":"pkg:composer/typo3/cms"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"9.0.0"},{"fixed":"9.5.20"}]}],"versions":["v9.0.0","v9.1.0","v9.2.0","v9.2.1","v9.3.0","v9.3.1","v9.3.2","v9.3.3","v9.4.0","v9.5.0","v9.5.1","v9.5.10","v9.5.11","v9.5.12","v9.5.13","v9.5.14","v9.5.15","v9.5.16","v9.5.17","v9.5.18","v9.5.19","v9.5.2","v9.5.3","v9.5.4","v9.5.5","v9.5.6","v9.5.7","v9.5.8","v9.5.9"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2020/07/GHSA-m5vr-3m74-jwxp/GHSA-m5vr-3m74-jwxp.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
