CVE-2014-9509  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade typo3/cms to version 7.0.2, 6.2.9, 4.5.39 or higher.

Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation. An attacker could forge a request, which modifies anchor only links on the homepage of a TYPO3 installation in a way that they point to arbitrary domains, if the configuration option config.prefixLocalAnchors is used with any possible value. TYPO3 versions 4.6.x and higher are only affected if the homepage is not a shortcut to a different page. AS an additional pre-condition URL rewriting must be enabled in the web server, which typically is, when using extensions like realurl or cooluri.

Mitigation: Removing the configuration options config.prefixLocalAnchors (and optionally also config.baseUrl) for config.absRefPrefix
