CVE-2025-59015: TYPO3 CMS uses insufficient entropy when generating passwords

September 9, 2025 (updated September 10, 2025)

A deterministic three‑character prefix in the Password Generation component of TYPO3 CMS versions 12.0.0–12.4.36 and 13.0.0–13.4.17 reduces entropy, allowing attackers to carry out brute‑force attacks more quickly.
