Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in TYPO3 up to 6.0.11 (Content Management System) and classified as critical. This vulnerability affects an unknown functionality in the library feuser_adminLib.inc of the component Table Administration Library. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a security check vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-358. The product does not implement or incorrectly implements one or more security-relevant checks as specified by the design of a standardized algorithm, protocol, or technique. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, and integrity. CVE summarizes:

The creating record functionality in Extension table administration library (feuser_adminLib.inc) in TYPO3 4.5.0 through 4.5.31, 4.7.0 through 4.7.16, and 6.0.0 through 6.0.11 allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary fields in the configuration database table via crafted links, aka "Mass Assignment."

The weakness was presented 12/10/2013 by Bernhard Kraft as TYPO3-CORE-SA-2013-004: Multiple Vulnerabilities in TYPO3 CMS as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is shared for download at typo3.org. This vulnerability was named CVE-2013-7080 since 12/11/2013. The attack can be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1211. The advisory points out:

Extensions that make use of the feuser_adminLib.inc library to create records are susceptible to Mass Assignment. This means that any links for creating records generated by this library can be manipulated to fill any field in the configured database table with arbitrary values. An attack is not limited to the fields listed in the configuration or the link itself. This library has been deprecated and removed from TYPO3 versions 6.1 and later but we still decided to fix this issue in previous versions.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 71782 (Debian DSA-2834-1 : typo3-src - several vulnerabilities), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Debian Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 175249 (Debian Security Update for typo3-src (DSA-2834-1)).

Upgrading to version 4.5.32, 4.7.17 or 6.0.12 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability. The advisory contains the following remark:

Extension authors are highly encouraged not to use this deprecated library anymore.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (89632), Tenable (71782), SecurityFocus (BID 64248†), OSVDB (100887†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-42821†).
