What is CVE-2024-55894?

A security vulnerability has been found in the TYPO3 backend user interface concerning the handling of deep links. This flaw opens potential entry points for Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks, where malicious actors can exploit weak configurations to manipulate backend user actions. The issue arises when critical state-changing operations in the Backend User Module accept HTTP GET requests without the necessary validations. For exploitation to be successful, attackers rely on users being tricked into clicking harmful URLs while their session is active. This vulnerability is particularly exacerbated when certain settings, such as 'security.backend.enforceReferrer' being disabled and 'BE/cookieSameSite' set to lax or none, are improperly configured. TYPO3 advises immediate updates to the secure versions mentioned to mitigate these risks.
