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 | Requires a valid, authenticated TYPO3 backend account that is NOT an administrator but HAS been granted access to the sgalinski cookie-consent module, plus use of that module's JSON configuration import feature - the authorization check that should limit configuration imports to admins is missing. Exploitation is limited by the need for these existing backend credentials and module permissions (PR:L, no anonymous/public path), so it is realistically an insider or compromised-account scenario rather than opportunistic internet-wide attack; no end-user interaction is required to inject, though resulting script execution occurs in frontend visitors' browsers. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-risk missing-authorization flaw (CWE-862) rather than a critical priority. The vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) shows network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation but requires PR:L - a valid, authenticated backend user. That authentication requirement is the single most important risk limiter: this is not an unauthenticated internet-facing bug but a privilege-boundary failure usable only by someone who already has backend access to the cookie-consent module. Impact is scoped to integrity (VI:H; VC:N/VA:N), consistent with script injection into the frontend rather than data theft or outage. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation; the real-world threat is primarily an insider or a compromised low-privilege backend account escalating to stored script injection against site visitors. Note the input Tag 'Authentication Bypass' is imprecise - the description and CWE-862 describe a missing authorization / broken access control issue (a low-privilege user doing something only admins should), not a bypass of authentication itself; this does not change severity but should be verified against the TYPO3 advisory. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A non-administrative TYPO3 backend user who has been granted access to the sgalinski cookie-consent module crafts a malicious JSON configuration file and uses the module's import feature to load it, bypassing the permission check that should restrict such changes to admins. Because the imported configuration can add arbitrary scripts to the website frontend, every subsequent visitor's browser executes the attacker's JavaScript, enabling stored cross-site scripting against site visitors. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and exploitation requires an existing authenticated backend account with module access. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 20, 2026
Missing authorization in the JSON configuration import of the Sgalinski Cookie Consent extension for TYPO3 lets a non-administrator backend user who already has access to the module import settings that inject arbitrary scripts into the website frontend. The issue is CWE-862 and is scored 7.1, with the supplied vector requiring authenticated backend access (PR:L) and no user interaction. No public exploit or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixed release referenced by TYPO3 security advisory TYPO3-EXT-SA-2026-029 at https://typo3.org/security/advisory/typo3-ext-sa-2026-029; the provided data does not specify an exact fixed version, so confirm the patched extension version in that advisory. Until patched, restrict access to the Sgalinski Cookie Consent backend module to trusted administrator accounts and remove JSON import permissions from non-admin backend roles, accepting reduced delegation of cookie-consent configuration. Audit existing cookie-consent JSON configurations and frontend output for unexpected scripts, and monitor backend logs for configuration imports, recognizing that these checks detect but do not prevent abuse. If JSON import is not operationally required, disable or block that feature for non-admin users; this prevents the vulnerable workflow but may disrupt legitimate configuration migration.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected code is the JSON import handler in the Sgalinski Cookie Consent extension for TYPO3, a backend module used to manage cookie-consent settings. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the import path performs insufficient permission checks and therefore does not restrict configuration changes to administrators, even though the backend user must already be authenticated and have module access (PR:L). The CVSS 4.0 vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N shows network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation by a privileged backend user with no user interaction, high integrity impact, and no confidentiality or availability impact; the independent CVSS 3.1 assessment matches this as AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N. The supplied wildcard CPE for typo3:extension "sgalinski_cookie_consent" does not identify a fixed or bounded version, so all releases of the extension should be treated as potentially affected pending the TYPO3 advisory.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
The JSON import of the cookie consent configuration did not respect the backend user's permissions. Non-admin backend users with access to the module could import a configuration that adds arbitrary scripts to the frontend of the website.
Executive ViewAI
The Sgalinski Cookie Consent extension for TYPO3 has a missing authorization weakness in its JSON configuration import that allows an authenticated non-administrator backend user to inject arbitrary scripts into the public website. This elevates the risk of content tampering and client-side attacks against visitors, and it weakens the CMS backend privilege model. Because no vendor patch is available, leadership should treat this as a governance and access-control issue requiring immediate tightening of backend permissions and monitoring.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Restrict the JSON configuration import module to trusted administrators, enforce least-privilege backend roles, review and revert unauthorized configuration changes, monitor frontend content for injected scripts, and consider disabling the import feature or the extension until a patch is available.
