DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in TYPO3, which can be exploited
by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to TYPO3 allowing users to perform
certain actions via HTTP requests without performing proper validity
checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. change
an administrator's password when a logged-in administrator visits a
specially crafted web page.

The vulnerability is confirmed in versions 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4. Prior
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 4.5.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Sven Taute.
