Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-209: Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information, where the product generates an error message that includes sensitive information about its environment, users, or associated data. In Typo3/cms, 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

The jumpUrl mechanism in class.tslib_fe.php in TYPO3 3.3.x through 3.8.x, 4.0 before 4.0.12, 4.1 before 4.1.10, 4.2 before 4.2.6, and 4.3alpha1 leaks a hash secret (juHash) in an error message, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by including the hash in a request.
