5.8
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The Authentication component in TYPO3 6.2.0 before 6.2.3 does not properly invalidate timed out user sessions, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via unspecified vectors.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2014-3944 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-287): Authentication bypass vulnerabilities allow attackers to access protected resources without valid credentials.
