TYPO3 CMS missing check for expiration time of password reset token for backend users

  • Disclosed: 16.09.2022
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Meta

  • CVSS: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:F/RL:O/RC:C (5.0)

Problem

It has been discovered that the expiration time of a password reset link for TYPO3 backend users has never been evaluated. As a result, a password reset link could be used to perform a password reset even if the default expiry time of two hours has been exceeded.

Solution

Update to TYPO3 version 10.4.32 or 11.5.16 that fix the problem described above.

Credits

Thanks to Ingo Fabbri who reported this issue and to TYPO3 security team member Torben Hansen who fixed the issue.
