Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
The extension fails to restrict which frontend usergroups a logged-in user may assign to their own account when the profile edit plugin uses its default field configuration, allowing self-service privilege escalation into arbitrary frontend groups.
AnalysisAI
Self-service privilege escalation in the TYPO3 femanager (Frontend User Manager) extension allows any authenticated frontend user to assign themselves to arbitrary frontend usergroups via the profile edit plugin when operating under its default field configuration. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the extension does not validate whether the requesting user is permitted to join the target group before processing the self-update. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires: (1) the target TYPO3 site must have the femanager extension installed with the profile edit plugin active; (2) the profile edit plugin must be using its default field configuration - installations where the usergroup assignment field has been explicitly disabled or restricted in the plugin settings are NOT vulnerable; (3) the attacker must hold a valid authenticated frontend user session (PR:L - unauthenticated exploitation is not possible). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.0 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N reflects a meaningful but gated risk: network reachable, low complexity, but requiring both an authenticated session (PR:L) and a specific deployment condition (AT:P - default field configuration). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with a valid low-privilege frontend user account on a TYPO3 site (e.g., a free-tier member or registered community user) navigates to the self-service profile edit page rendered by femanager. By manipulating the group assignment field in the submitted form - either through browser developer tools or a crafted HTTP request - the attacker includes the identifier of a privileged frontend group (such as a paid-subscription or administrator group). … |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to apply the patched version of the femanager extension as detailed in the TYPO3 security advisory at https://typo3.org/security/advisory/typo3-ext-sa-2026-024; an exact fix version was not confirmed from available intelligence data and must be retrieved from the advisory directly. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
