MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the TYPO3 'mail' extension's click tracking middleware to be in use, since that endpoint accepts an arbitrary target URL and performs the redirect; the attacker must then induce a victim to click a crafted tracking link (UI:P passive interaction), which is the main limiting factor. No authentication is required (PR:N) and no special non-default configuration is indicated beyond having click tracking enabled. Impact is confined to redirecting the user to an external site (integrity only); there is no direct confidentiality or availability effect, so realistic risk is phishing/social-engineering rather than direct compromise. |
| Impact | This is a CWE-601 open redirect in the click tracking middleware of the TYPO3 'mail' extension, rated CVSS 5.3 (medium) by the vendor. The supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P) indicates remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated reach but requires passive user interaction (the victim must click a tracking link), and impact is limited to subsequent-system integrity (SI:L) with no confidentiality, availability, or vulnerable-system impact - consistent with a redirection-only flaw rather than code execution or data exposure. There is no CISA KEV listing, no EPSS score, and no PoC or exploit reference in the input; the only reference is the TYPO3 vendor advisory (TYPO3-EXT-SA-2026-037). The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', not act_now/emergency, which aligns with a real-but-moderate issue rather than an urgent one. No signals conflict: all sources point to a low-to-medium severity open redirect whose primary value to an attacker is phishing/social-engineering credibility, not direct system compromise. No key data is contradictory; EPSS and exploitation-status data are simply absent, so widespread exploitation cannot be assessed from the input. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a link pointing at the affected site's click tracking endpoint with an attacker-controlled target URL, so the link appears to belong to the trusted TYPO3 site but silently redirects the victim to an external malicious page. When a user clicks it (e.g. in a phishing email or social post), they are forwarded to a credential-harvesting or malware site while trusting the original domain. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis; exploitation requires the victim to click the crafted link (UI:P). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Nov 03, 2026
Open redirect in the TYPO3 'mail' extension's click tracking middleware allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to craft a tracking link on a trusted TYPO3 site that forwards victims to an arbitrary external destination, turning the site's own domain into a phishing lure. It is rated CVSS 5.3 (medium) by the vendor and CVSS 4.0 5.3 by the reporting source, with the assessed vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N - the practical impact is limited to integrity of the redirected-to context, so risk is social engineering rather than direct compromise. No public exploit code or PoC is referenced in the available intelligence and the issue is not in CISA KEV; the vendor priority label places it in the this-month remediation window.
RemediationAI
The vendor has published advisory TYPO3-Ext-SA-2026-037 (https://typo3.org/security/advisory/typo3-ext-sa-2026-037) as the authoritative source for the corrected 'mail' extension release; the specific fixed version is not stated in the data available here, so consult that advisory and update the extension to the version it names as the complete fix. If the extension cannot be updated immediately, the exposure can be reduced by disabling or restricting the click tracking middleware, since the advisory's exploitation conditions require that click tracking path to be active - the trade-off is loss of click analytics and tracked-link functionality for mail sent through the extension. Do not rely on link rewriting or mail-gateway filtering alone as a substitute for the vendor fix, because the redirect is issued from the legitimate TYPO3 domain. Vendor priority places this in the this-month remediation window rather than an emergency patch cycle.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is CWE-601 (URL Redirection to Untrusted Site / 'Open Redirect') in the click tracking middleware shipped with the TYPO3 'mail' extension. The middleware is designed to record a click and then bounce the recipient onward to a stored destination, but per the advisory it accepts an arbitrary target URL from the request and redirects to it without constraining the destination - no allowlist of internal or approved hosts is applied, so any host an attacker supplies is honored. Because the redirect is issued from the TYPO3 site's own domain, recipients and mail filters see a trusted link. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P, VC:N/VI:N/VA:N, SC:N/SI:L/SA:N) and the assessed 3.1 vector (S:C, I:L, UI:R) agree that the only modeled effect is a low-integrity impact in the downstream context, with no confidentiality or availability effect; the attacker must get a victim to follow the crafted link, which is the primary limiting factor. Beyond the fact that the middleware accepts the target URL from the request, the precise request syntax and parameter names are not described in the available sources.
