Authenticated cross-account modification via ineffective access validation
Published Sep 14, 2026 · Updated Sep 14, 2026
Broken access control in femanager 7.0.0 through 7.2.2 allows remote authenticated users to edit or delete other frontend users. The edit-user component grants access in controller initialization actions that TYPO3 cannot stop, leaving permission validation ineffective. A frontend account is required; exploitation changes other users' data or deletes their accounts, without reported service interruption.
