Summary

TYPO3 extension "Frontend User Registration" (sf_register) from 0 before 13.2.5 and from 14.0.0 before 14.0.3 does not reject requests with a missing or invalid hash in the action links sent by its emails. An unauthenticated remote attacker can act on arbitrary active frontend users, retrieving their email addresses or usernames and deleting their accounts. This is a broken access control flaw tied to CWE-639.

Written with Claude Haiku 5.5 from the sources below · 2026-11-03

Description from the CNA

The actions linked in the emails of the extension (e.g. to confirm a registration or the deletion of an account) do not reject requests with a missing or invalid hash. Instead, the frontend user given in the request is used. Unauthenticated attackers can therefore perform these actions for arbitrary active frontend users. This allows them to retrieve the email address or username of all frontend users and to delete arbitrary frontend user accounts.
