Summary

TYPO3 CMS uses insufficient entropy when generating passwords

Details

A deterministic three‑character prefix in the Password Generation component of TYPO3 CMS versions 12.0.0–12.4.36 and 13.0.0–13.4.17 reduces entropy, allowing attackers to carry out brute‑force attacks more quickly.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
