Routine

MEDIUM 5.3REMOTEUPGRADE

CVE-2022-44543 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 5.3) affecting femanager. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

The femanager extension before 5.5.2, 6.x before 6.3.3, and 7.x before 7.0.1 for TYPO3 allows creation of frontend users in restricted groups (if there is a usergroup field on the registration form). This occurs because the usergroup.inList protection mechanism is mishandled.

Why this priority

Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action

A fixed release or distro patch exists.

in2code femanager UPGRADE

Affected: < 5.5.2 · >= 6.0.0 and < 6.3.3 · 7.0.0

Fixed in: 5.5.2, 6.3.3

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 6.0.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy femanager || rpm -q femanager || femanager --version

2. UPGRADE to 5.5.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade femanager

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade femanager

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 6.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison femanager sudo apt install femanager=<VERSION_BEFORE_6.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold femanager

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list femanager sudo dnf downgrade femanager-<VERSION_BEFORE_6.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add femanager

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
