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 | Exploitation requires a valid, authenticated TYPO3 backend user session (CVSS PR:L confirms low-privilege authentication is necessary - unauthenticated exploitation is not possible). The attacker must hold at least read/browse access to the source page (to be aware of and reference the record) and edit/move access to the destination page. The specific vulnerable operation is the |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.3 (Medium) reflects network accessibility (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no special attack conditions (AT:N), low privilege requirement (PR:L), and no user interaction (UI:N), with impact limited to system integrity at a low level (VI:L) and no confidentiality or availability impact. This scoring is consistent with the nature of the flaw: an insider or compromised editor account can silently reorganize content, but cannot exfiltrate data or cause downtime. No EPSS data was provided in the input, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed mass or targeted exploitation at time of analysis. The primary real-world risk dampener is the authenticated backend access requirement - external attackers must first obtain valid TYPO3 backend credentials before exploiting this. For organizations with tightly scoped editor roles (e.g., agencies granting clients access to specific page branches), this is a meaningful integrity risk. For organizations where all backend users are already trusted administrators, the practical impact is negligible. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A TYPO3 backend editor account restricted to a specific page subtree (e.g., a client given access only to their own microsite branch) uses the standard TYPO3 backend page tree interface or direct DataHandler API call to drag-and-drop a content element from a restricted page - one they can see but not edit - into a page within their permitted scope.

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 09, 2026
Missing authorization in TYPO3 CMS's DataHandler allows authenticated backend users with low privileges to move content records across pages without holding edit permissions on the source page. The moveRecord() method in DataHandler.php validated destination-page access but omitted the symmetrical check on the source page, enabling unauthorized restructuring of the content hierarchy. Affected versions are 13.0.0-13.4.31 and 14.0.0-14.3.3; no public exploit or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Apply the upstream patches corresponding to your TYPO3 branch: commit 195356996a60e40aeb2cd3e45a5f5c8940d5e116 addresses the 13.x line and commit c9898d2e67608eda78f8bd1f06ee9cf05a872a56 addresses the 14.x line, both available on the TYPO3 GitHub repository. The exact patched release versions (e.g., 13.4.32, 14.3.4) are not specified in the available input data and must be confirmed via the vendor advisory at https://typo3.org/security/advisory/typo3-core-sa-2026-012 before deploying. If an immediate upgrade is operationally infeasible, audit all backend user group (be_groups) configurations and ensure editor accounts are granted only the minimum required page mount and table permissions; removing move/drag-and-drop capabilities from untrusted editor roles via the backend access module will mitigate the risk. Note that tightening user group permissions may disrupt legitimate editorial workflows and should be tested in a staging environment before applying to production.

Technical ContextAI · show details
TYPO3 CMS routes all backend data manipulation - including cross-page record moves - through a central DataHandler class located at typo3/sysext/core/Classes/DataHandling/DataHandler.php. The moveRecord() method is responsible for relocating database records between page nodes in the content tree. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) identifies the root cause: the method enforced access controls on the destination page but contained no guard verifying that the acting backend user held update rights on the source page. The commit diff confirms the fix inserts a hasPermissionToUpdate($table, $sourcePageRecord) call immediately before the move proceeds; without this, the DataHandler relied solely on destination-side checks. The TYPO3 backend permission model is role-based, with be_users and be_groups records controlling which page subtrees and tables an editor may modify, making the omission a clear privilege boundary violation within the CMS authorization model.
