Summary

An issue was discovered in the direct_mail (aka Direct Mail) extension through 9.5.1 for TYPO3. The Configuration backend module of the extension allows an authenticated user to write to an arbitrary TSConfig page for folders configured as Direct Mail. Exploiting this may lead to Configuration Injection (TYPO3 10.4 and above) and to Arbitrary Code Execution (TYPO3 9.5 and below).

Risk Assessment

Exploitation requires a valid backend user account with access to the Direct Mail Configuration backend module, but it can lead to configuration injection or arbitrary code execution on the server.

Recommendation

Update the direct_mail extension to a patched version and restrict access to the Direct Mail Configuration module to trusted administrators only.
