TYPO3 'jumpUrl' Mechanism Information Disclosure

medium Nessus Plugin ID 35655

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The 'jumpUrl' mechanism in the version of TYPO3 installed on the remote host, which is used to track access, exposes the value of a hash secret used to validate requests. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can leverage this issue to view the contents of arbitrary files on the remote host subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Solution

Upgrade to TYPO3 version 4.0.12 / 4.1.10 / 4.2.6 or later, or patch the installation as discussed in the project's advisory referenced above.
