Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in TYPO3 6.2/6.2.0/6.2.1/6.2.2 (Content Management System). It has been declared as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown part of the component Authentication. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a improper authentication vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-287. When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, and integrity. The summary by CVE is:

The Authentication component in TYPO3 6.2.0 before 6.2.3 does not properly invalidate timed out user sessions, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via unspecified vectors.

The weakness was published 05/22/2014 by Markus Klein as TYPO3-CORE-SA-2014-001 as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is shared at typo3.org. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2014-3944 since 06/03/2014. An attack has to be approached locally. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. The advisory points out:

Failing to properly invalidate user sessions that have timed out, it is possible to successfully transmit one authenticated request before the session finally is discarded.

Upgrading to version 6.2.3 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (93462), SecurityFocus (BID 67627†), Secunia (SA58901†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-45080†).
