Exploitation Conditions

The TYPO3 'Club Directory' extension must be installed and its frontend plugin must be active on at least one publicly reachable page. The frontend edit, update, and activate plugin actions must be accessible without a page-level login restriction. No authentication is required - the CVSS 4.0 vector explicitly confirms PR:N (no privileges) and UI:N (no user interaction). The sole practical prerequisite is knowledge of a valid club record UID; since TYPO3 UIDs are sequential auto-incremented integers, an attacker can enumerate them by simply incrementing the parameter value starting from 1. Exploitation is limited to TYPO3 deployments that have this specific extension installed with its frontend plugin exposed publicly; sites that do not use the extension, or that gate all frontend plugin pages behind authentication, are not affected.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.8 with AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N accurately reflects the low-friction exploitation profile - no authentication, no complexity, and no user interaction required, all reachable over the network. The VI:H (high integrity impact to the vulnerable system) is well-justified given that arbitrary record overwrite and unauthorized publication directly corrupt application data. VC:L reflects that the edit form may pre-populate and thus disclose record fields to the attacker. No EPSS score or KEV listing is available in the provided data, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified; however, the vulnerability class - missing authorization on mutable frontend actions - is well-understood, historically common in CMS extensions, and requires minimal attacker skill. The primary prerequisite, knowing a valid record UID, is easily satisfied through sequential enumeration. Real-world risk is meaningful for any TYPO3 deployment running this extension with publicly accessible frontend plugin pages, particularly sites that use the moderation/approval workflow.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker visits a TYPO3 site with the Club Directory plugin active on a public page, then iterates the integer UID parameter (e.g., ?uid=1, ?uid=2) in the plugin's frontend URL to enumerate valid club record IDs. Once a valid UID is identified, the attacker sends a crafted POST request directly to the update action with arbitrary field values - no credentials required - overwriting the club record. For records pending editorial approval, the attacker targets the activate action to force-publish them, bypassing the moderation workflow entirely.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 25, 2026

Unauthenticated record takeover in the TYPO3 'Club Directory' extension allows any visitor to overwrite or force-publish arbitrary club records by supplying a known record UID in requests to the frontend edit, update, and activate actions. The extension resolves records directly from user-controlled input without performing any ownership or authorization check, making this a textbook CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) / IDOR vulnerability. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but exploitation is trivially simple given the network-accessible attack surface, absence of authentication, and sequential nature of TYPO3 record UIDs.

RemediationAI

Apply the patch documented in the TYPO3 security advisory at https://typo3.org/security/advisory/typo3-ext-sa-2026-019; the exact minimum safe version is not independently confirmed from the available CPE data and must be obtained from the advisory directly. As a compensating control prior to patching, administrators should restrict all pages hosting the Club Directory frontend plugin to require authentication, using TYPO3's built-in page-level access controls, which gates the vulnerable actions behind a login - note this does not fix the underlying missing authorization logic and may not cover all access paths. Alternatively, disabling the extension entirely eliminates the attack surface with no residual risk but also removes club directory functionality. Restricting public access to the edit, update, and activate plugin actions via TypoScript or .htaccess-level routing is a further option, with the trade-off that legitimate frontend editors would also be blocked.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected product is the TYPO3 CMS 'Club Directory' extension (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:typo3:extension_"club_directory":*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). TYPO3 is a PHP-based content management system with a plugin extension architecture. Its frontend controllers resolve database records via UID parameters passed in HTTP requests. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the extension's edit, update, and activate action handlers retrieve club records using a caller-supplied UID but contain no logic to verify that the requesting user owns or is otherwise authorized to modify that record. TYPO3 record UIDs are auto-incremented integers, making enumeration trivial. The activate action is particularly impactful because it can be used to bypass editorial workflows and publish records still awaiting moderation approval.

DescriptionCVE.org

The extension resolves the targeted club record from a user-supplied request argument in its frontend edit, update, and activate actions, but performs no ownership check in any of them. An unauthenticated visitor who knows the UID of a club record can send a direct request to the update or activate action and overwrite that record, or publish one still awaiting approval, without owning it.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

TYPO3 'Club Directory' extension (CVE-2026-77141, CVSS 8.8) contains an unauthenticated authorization bypass (CWE-862/IDOR) enabling any internet visitor to modify or force-publish arbitrary club records without authentication. Organizations using this extension face immediate risk of unauthorized data modification, potential operational disruption, and reputational harm if club records are customer-facing.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict network-level access to TYPO3 frontend record edit and update endpoints via firewall rules or Web Application Firewall; segment TYPO3 infrastructure to limit unauthorized access; disable the Club Directory extension if functionality is not operationally required; implement audit logging and real-time alerting on all club record modification events to detect exploitation attempts.
