Class destructors causing side-effects when being unserialized in TYPO3 CMS

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 12, 2020 in TYPO3/typo3 • Updated Feb 7, 2024

Package

composer typo3/cms (Composer)

Description

Calling unserialize() on malicious user-submitted content can result in the following scenarios:

  • trigger deletion of arbitrary directory in file system (if writable for web server)
  • trigger message submission via email using identity of web site (mail relay)

Another insecure deserialization vulnerability is required to actually exploit mentioned aspects.

Update to TYPO3 versions 9.5.17 or 10.4.2 that fix the problem described.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
