CVE-2022-23500  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-674  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade typo3/cms to version 10.4.33, 11.5.20 or higher.

Overview

typo3/cms is a free open source Content Management Framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Recursion such that requesting invalid or non-existing resources via HTTP triggers the page error handler, which again could retrieve content to be shown as an error message from another page. This leads to a scenario in which the application is calling itself recursively - amplifying the impact of the initial attack until the limits of the web server are exceeded.

This vulnerability is very similar, but not identical, to the one described in TYPO3-CORE-SA-2021-005 (CVE-2021-21359).
