3DescriptionCVE.org
The extension fails to require the dedicated admin confirmation token when processing an admin-approval request, so a regular user confirmation hash, obtainable by any visitor through the public resend-confirmation action, is sufficient to self-approve a pending account awaiting admin approval.
AnalysisAI
The femanager extension for TYPO3 CMS incorrectly accepts a regular user confirmation hash - obtainable by any visitor via the public resend-confirmation action - in place of the privileged admin confirmation token when processing account-approval requests. This allows a registrant whose account is pending administrator authorization to self-approve that account, fully bypassing the admin-approval gate. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The admin-approval workflow feature of the femanager extension must be enabled and configured on the TYPO3 site - sites using femanager without this workflow are not affected. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N) scores 8.3, reflecting remote, unauthenticated exploitation with high confidentiality impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker registers a new account on a TYPO3 site using femanager with admin-approval enabled, placing their account in the pending-approval queue. They then call the public resend-confirmation action to retrieve their own user confirmation hash, and submit that hash to the admin-approval endpoint instead of awaiting an admin-issued token. … |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to apply the patched femanager release identified in TYPO3 security advisory TYPO3-EXT-SA-2026-024 (https://typo3.org/security/advisory/typo3-ext-sa-2026-024); the exact fixed version is not independently confirmed from the data provided and should be taken directly from that advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: identify all TYPO3 installations running femanager and document version numbers; disable the femanager extension or restrict public access to the resend-confirmation endpoint pending remediation. …
