CVE-2024-25119: Information Disclosure of Encryption Key in TYPO3 Install Tool
First published: Tue Feb 13 2024(Updated: )
### Problem The plaintext value of `$GLOBALS['SYS']['encryptionKey']` was displayed in the editing forms of the TYPO3 Install Tool user interface. This allowed attackers to utilize the value to generate cryptographic hashes used for verifying the authenticity of HTTP request parameters. Exploiting this vulnerability requires an administrator-level backend user account with system maintainer permissions. ### Solution Update to TYPO3 versions 8.7.57 ELTS, 9.5.46 ELTS, 10.4.43 ELTS, 11.5.35 LTS, 12.4.11 LTS, 13.0.1 that fix the problem described. ### Credits Thanks to TYPO3 core & security team member Benjamin Franzke who fixed the issue. ### References * [TYPO3-CORE-SA-2024-004](https://typo3.org/security/advisory/typo3-core-sa-2024-004)
