TYPO3 Back-end 'index.php' 'redirect_url' Redirect

medium Nessus Plugin ID 48239

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts an application with an open redirect.

Description

The installed version of TYPO3 fails to validate input passed to the 'redirect_url' parameter of the back-end 'index.php' script before issuing a redirect. An attacker can exploit this issue to conduct phishing attacks by tricking users into visiting malicious websites.

The installed version is also reportedly affected by several other vulnerabilities including cross-site scripting, SQL-injection, arbitrary code execution, information disclosure, header injection, broken authentication, and session management; however, Nessus has not tested for these issues.

Solution

Upgrade to TYPO3 4.1.14 / 4.2.13 / 4.3.4 / 4.4.1 or later.
