User enumeration via skipped invalid-user hashing
Published Sep 13, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Observable timing discrepancy in affected TYPO3 CMS releases allows remote attackers to enumerate users via login response times. AbstractUserAuthentication skips authentication-service work when no user record is found, so only existing accounts incur password hashing or remote-service latency. The frontend and backend authentication endpoints require no account; disclosure is limited to whether a tested username exists.
