Summary

TYPO3 is prone to an XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability in the Dasboard widget.

Insight

Insight

It has been discovered that RSS widgets are susceptible to XML external entity processing. This vulnerability is reasonable, but is theoretical - it was not possible to actually reproduce the vulnerability with current PHP versions of supported and maintained system distributions. At least with libxml2 version 2.9, the processing of XML external entities is disabled per default - and cannot be exploited. Besides that, a valid backend user account is needed.

Affected Software

Affected Software

TYPO3 version 10.4.0 through 10.4.9.

Detection Method

Detection Method

Checks if a vulnerable version is present on the target host.

Solution

Solution

Update to version 10.4.10 or later.
