MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The TYPO3 'typo3_ai_integration_extension' must be installed and active, and the attacker must hold any valid backend user session (PR:L) - no administrator or elevated role is needed, but anonymous/front-end access is not sufficient. The vulnerable backend endpoint accepts attacker-controlled page UID, field name, and value and performs neither a permission check nor a field allowlist, so no special product configuration is required beyond having the extension present. The principal limiting factor is the authentication requirement (a provisioned backend account) and the extension's restricted deployment footprint; there is no required user interaction and no non-default setting needed. |
| Impact | The vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:L) scores 7.2 (High) and is internally consistent with the description: the flaw is reachable over the network (AV:N), is trivial to trigger (AC:L/AT:N), requires only a low-privileged authenticated backend account (PR:L), needs no victim interaction (UI:N), and its dominant impact is integrity (VI:H) because an attacker can overwrite any field of any page record - including access permissions and configuration - effectively enabling vertical privilege escalation and unauthorized access to restricted content (hence the VC:L and VA:L secondary impacts). No EPSS probability, SSVC decision, KEV listing, or POC indicator was provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation; the risk rating rests on severity, not demonstrated use. Two factors meaningfully cap real-world risk: exploitation requires a valid backend user (PR:L, not PR:N), and the vulnerable component is a specific, non-core TYPO3 add-on rather than TYPO3 core, so the exposed population is limited to installations that have deployed this particular AI integration extension. For organizations that do run it, however, this is a genuine priority because the barrier (any backend login) is low and the integrity impact (rewriting page ACLs) is high. Note: CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) describes a broken-access-control/authorization flaw by an already-authenticated user, which conflicts with the 'Authentication Bypass' tag applied in the input - authentication is not bypassed. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A low-privileged but authenticated TYPO3 backend user (e.g. a limited editor) sends a crafted request to the extension's unprotected write endpoint, supplying a target page UID, a sensitive field name such as the page's access/permission setting, and an attacker-chosen value. Because the endpoint performs no permission check and does not restrict which fields may be modified, the user rewrites the access controls of a page outside their granted scope, escalating their effective privileges. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data; exploitation is straightforward given AV:N/AC:L and only PR:L. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 20, 2026
Any authenticated TYPO3 backend user can rewrite arbitrary page-record fields-including access permissions and configuration-when the AI Integration extension is active, because its backend write endpoint performs neither a permission check nor a field allowlist. The issue affects TYPO3 installations with typo3_ai_integration_extension installed and active and requires only a low-privileged backend session (CVSS 4.0 7.2 High; assessed CVSS 3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L). No public exploit code or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No exact patched version is provided in the supplied data; use the TYPO3 advisory at https://typo3.org/security/advisory/typo3-ext-sa-2026-035 to identify and deploy the fixed extension release, and confirm the version before rollout. If the AI Integration extension is not essential, disable or uninstall it-this removes the vulnerable backend endpoint but also eliminates the extension's functionality. If it must remain, restrict TYPO3 backend access to trusted users and networks (VPN or IP allowlist), audit and minimize backend accounts and roles, and alert on changes to page records, especially fields governing access permissions and configuration; these reduce exposure but do not remediate the missing authorization check, and restricting backend access can disrupt legitimate editors. No public exploit code or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) is the root cause: the extension exposes a backend endpoint that accepts a page UID, field name, and value, then writes the value into that field of the referenced page record without verifying that the caller may modify that page or that the requested field is writable. TYPO3 backend page records include access-control and configuration fields, so the missing field allowlist turns a low-privileged backend account into a path for vertical privilege escalation and unauthorized content access; the dominant impact is integrity (VI:H), with limited confidentiality and availability effects (VC:L/VA:L). The vulnerable surface is network-reachable and requires no user interaction or non-default configuration beyond an installed and active extension plus a valid backend session (PR:L); the CPE wildcard cpe:2.3:a:typo3:extension_"typo3_ai_integration_extension":*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates all versions are in scope in the available data. The vendor CVSS 4.0 vector and independently assessed CVSS 3.1 vector agree that exploitation is low-complexity once authenticated.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
The extension provides a backend endpoint that writes a submitted value into a submitted field of a submitted page record. It neither checks the user's permissions nor limits which fields can be changed. Any authenticated backend user can therefore change any property of any page, including its access permissions and configuration, outside the scope granted to them.
Executive ViewAI
TYPO3 installations with the AI Integration extension active carry a high-severity integrity risk because any authenticated backend user can alter page permissions and configuration without expected authorization controls. Leadership should care because a low-privileged or compromised backend account could quietly change access rules and site configuration, undermining trust in content controls and requiring manual remediation. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no vendor-released patch is currently available.
Disable or uninstall typo3_ai_integration_extension if not essential; restrict backend access to trusted users with MFA and least privilege; monitor and audit page-record and permission changes; use WAF/virtual patching and network allowlisting for the backend; engage the vendor for a patch timeline.
