How to Fix CVE-2024-34358

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Typo3/cms core dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

typo3/cms-core fixed: 9.5.48
Upgrade typo3/cms-core to 9.5.48
typo3/cms-core fixed: 10.4.45
Upgrade typo3/cms-core to 10.4.45
typo3/cms-core fixed: 11.5.37
Upgrade typo3/cms-core to 11.5.37
typo3/cms-core fixed: 12.4.15
Upgrade typo3/cms-core to 12.4.15
typo3/cms-core fixed: 13.1.1
Upgrade typo3/cms-core to 13.1.1
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

inspect dependencies for typo3/cms-core

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2024-34358, inspect your project dependencies for Typo3/cms core:

inspect dependencies for typo3/cms-core

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Typo3/cms core in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 9.5.48), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption, where the product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource. In Typo3/cms core, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Problem The `ShowImageController` (_eID tx_cms_showpic_) lacks a cryptographic HMAC-signature on the `frame` HTTP query parameter (e.g. `/index.php?eID=tx_cms_showpic?file=3&...&frame=12345`). This allows adversaries to instruct the system to produce an arbitrary number of thumbnail images on the server side. ### Solution Update to TYPO3 versions 9.5.48 ELTS, 10.4.45 ELTS, 11.5.37 LTS, 12.4.15 LTS, 13.1.1 that fix the problem described. #### ℹ️ **Strong security defaults - Manual actions required** The `frame` HTTP query parameter is now ignored, since it could not be used by core APIs. The new feature flag `security.frontend.allowInsecureFrameOptionInShowImageController` – which is disabled per default – can be used to reactivate the previous behavior. ### Credits Thanks to TYPO3 security team member Torben Hansen who reported this issue and to TYPO3 core & security team members Benjamin Mack and Benjamin Franzke who fixed the issue. ### References * [TYPO3-CORE-SA-2024-010](https://typo3.org/security/advisory/typo3-core-sa-2024-010)
