Overview

contao/core-bundle is an Open Source PHP Content Management System for people who want a professional website that is easy to maintain.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via the ModuleRegistration::compile process. An attacker can trigger the system to send unlimited activation emails to arbitrary addresses by repeatedly submitting POST requests to a page containing the registration module, potentially causing nuisance to recipients and revealing whether an email address has a pending registration. This is only exploitable if the target address has an unconfirmed registration (i.e., tl_member.disable = 1 with an unconfirmed reg- opt-in token), and the attacker can create this state since registration does not require ownership proof. On sites where reg_activate is disabled, this branch is unreachable.
