Synopsis

The remote webserver is affected by a vulnerability

Description

The version of TYPO3 installed on the remote host is 9.0.0 prior to 9.5.51 ELTS / 10.0.0 prior to 10.4.50 ELTS / 11.0.0 prior to 11.5.44 ELTS / 12.0.0 prior to 12.4.31 / 13.0.0 prior to 13.4.12. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TYPO3-CORE-SA-2025-013 advisory.

 - The backend user management interface allows password changes without requiring the current password. When an administrator updates their own account or modifies other user accounts via the admin interface, the current password is not requested for verification. This behavior may lower the protection against unauthorized access in scenarios where an admin session is hijacked or left unattended, as it enables password changes without additional authentication. (CVE-2025-47938)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to TYPO3 9.5.51 ELTS, 10.4.50 ELTS, 11.5.44 ELTS, 12.4.31, 13.4.12 or later.
