CVE-2025-59022: TYPO3 CMS Allows Broken Access Control in Recycler Module
Problem
Backend users who had access to the recycler module could delete arbitrary data from any database table defined in the TCA - regardless of whether they had permission to that particular table. This allowed attackers to purge and destroy critical site data, effectively rendering the website unavailable.
Solution
Update to TYPO3 versions 10.4.55 ELTS, 11.5.49 ELTS, 12.4.41 LTS, 13.4.23 LTS, 14.0.2 that fix the problem described.
Credits
Thanks to Sven Jürgens and Daniel Windloff for reporting this issue, and to TYPO3 security team member Elias Häußler for fixing it.
