CVE-2024-45233

Powermail TYPO3 extension Broken Access Control in the OutputController

An issue was discovered in powermail extension through 12.3.5 for TYPO3. Several actions in the OutputController can directly be called, due to missing or insufficiently implemented access checks, resulting in Broken Access Control. Depending on the configuration of the Powermail Frontend plugins, an unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to edit, update, delete, or export data of persisted forms. This can only be exploited when the Powermail Frontend plugins are used. The fixed versions are 7.5.0, 8.5.0, 10.9.0, and 12.4.0.

CVE-2024-45233 has a CVSS score of 6.8 (Medium). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (7.5.0, 8.5.0, 10.9.0, 12.4.0); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

2. How severe is CVE-2024-45233? CVE-2024-45233 has a CVSS score of 6.8 (Medium). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
3. Which versions of in2code/powermail are affected by CVE-2024-45233? in2code/powermail (composer) versions < 7.5.0 is affected.
4. Is there a fix for CVE-2024-45233? Yes. CVE-2024-45233 is fixed in 7.5.0, 8.5.0, 10.9.0, 12.4.0. Upgrade to this version or later.
5. Is CVE-2024-45233 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2024-45233 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

6. What actually determines whether CVE-2024-45233 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
7. How do I fix CVE-2024-45233?
   • Upgrade in2code/powermail to 7.5.0 or later
   • Upgrade in2code/powermail to 8.5.0 or later
   • Upgrade in2code/powermail to 10.9.0 or later
