Privilege escalation in TYPO3 CMS 14.2.0-14.3.6 allows backend administrators without system-maintainer privileges to schedule configuration commands (configuration:set, configuration:show, configuration:read) through the TYPO3 scheduler module, bypassing the role-based authorization that normally restricts these operations to the highest privilege tier. An attacker holding a backend administrator account can leverage this to silently elevate themselves to system-maintainer status or corrupt system configuration to trigger a denial of service. No public exploit code has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog at time of analysis.
Broken referrer enforcement in TYPO3 CMS backend and Install Tool allows an attacker with JavaScript execution capability on any of the site's own domains to invoke privileged backend routes and Install Tool endpoints using an authenticated victim's session. The regression was introduced in TYPO3 13.0.0 when both the backend and Install Tool were moved to serve from the site root entry point rather than the dedicated `/typo3/` subdirectory, causing the `ReferrerEnforcer` to accept any same-origin Referer header as legitimate backend traffic. Affected versions are TYPO3 CMS 13.0.0-13.4.33 and 14.0.0-14.3.5; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
TYPO3 CMS 14.2.0 stores backend user passwords in cleartext within database fields (uc, user_settings) when passwords are changed through the user settings module. Remote attackers with database read access or exploiting SQL injection vulnerabilities can retrieve plaintext credentials for backend administrator accounts. Vendor patch available via GitHub commit 9a6e913f. No active exploitation confirmed at time of analysis, though high CVSS subsequent system impact scores (SC:H/SI:H/SA:H) indicate potential for privilege escalation if database is compromised.
Unauthorized information disclosure in TYPO3 CMS backend localization wizard exposes records and content elements outside a low-privileged user's permitted access scope. Multiple AJAX endpoints in the PHP LocalizationController - used to drive the multi-step translation wizard - accept arbitrary record UIDs without performing authorization checks, allowing any authenticated backend user to query metadata about content they should not be able to see. All actively maintained TYPO3 major branches (10.x through 14.x) are affected, vendor patches are available, and no public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
