CVE-2024-55922 is a medium-severity CSRF (CWE-352) vulnerability in Typo3 Typo3. Its CVSS base score is 5.4 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 9th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and AC-6 (Least Privilege) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
TYPO3 is a free and open source Content Management Framework. A vulnerability has been identified in the backend user interface functionality involving deep links. Specifically, this functionality is susceptible to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). Additionally, state-changing actions in downstream components…

incorrectly accepted submissions via HTTP GET and did not enforce the appropriate HTTP method. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires the victim to have an active session on the backend user interface and to be deceived into interacting with a malicious URL targeting the backend, which can occur under the following conditions: The user opens a malicious link, such as one sent via email. The user visits a compromised or manipulated website while the following settings are misconfigured: 1. `security.backend.enforceReferrer` feature is disabled, 2. `BE/cookieSameSite` configuration is set to lax or none The vulnerability in the affected downstream component “Form Framework Module” allows attackers to manipulate or delete persisted form definitions. Users are advised to update to TYPO3 versions 11.5.42 ELTS, 12.4.25 LTS, 13.4.3 LTS which fix the problem described. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Access enforcement directly stops unauthorized callers from invoking dangerous API methods or functions.
Least privilege restricts which users or processes may reach dangerous methods, limiting exposure.
Least functionality removes or disables non-essential dangerous methods from the exposed interface altogether.
Protecting session authenticity prevents attackers from replaying or forging authenticated requests via the victim's browser.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Enforcing least-privilege authorization directly prevents unrestricted dangerous API methods.
Secure SDLC practices directly require anti-CSRF controls such as tokens or SameSite attributes.
Vulnerability identification processes will surface exposed dangerous methods during assessment.
Logical access controls at the network/environment layer can limit reachability of exposed functions.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Security testing can detect exposed dangerous functions, but does not prevent their initial introduction.
Restricting privileged utility programs reduces exposure of dangerous functions, but does not eliminate the underlying weakness.
Privileged access rights limit who can invoke dangerous methods, but do not address whether the method itself should exist.
By denying access to phishing or malicious sites, the control lowers the likelihood that a user will be tricked into submitting a forged request that performs an unintended action on another site.
Secure development life cycle requires removal or protection of dangerous APIs during design and coding.
Application security requirements can mandate that dangerous methods are not exposed in interfaces.
