Synopsis

The remote webserver is affected by a vulnerability

Description

The version of TYPO3 installed on the remote host is 12.0.0 prior to 12.4.37 / 13.0.0 prior to 13.4.18. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TYPO3-CORE-SA-2025-019 advisory.

- By default, the Password Generation component creates a password that always begins with a deterministic threecharacter prefix (lowercase, uppercase, digit). Consequently, the effective entropy of the generated passwords is lower than expected. Invocations that employ the random password rules are unaffected. (CVE-2025-59015)

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 12.4.37, 13.4.18 or later.
