CVE-2014-3945: TYPO3 vulnerable to authentication bypass via leveraging knowledge of password hash

May 17, 2022 (updated April 14, 2025)

The Authentication component in TYPO3 before 6.2, when salting for password hashing is disabled, does not require knowledge of the cleartext password if the password hash is known, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain access to the backend by leveraging knowledge of a password hash.
