Bug #87917
Updated by Georg Ringer over 5 years ago
Hello,
I found out that if you manipulate the hidden fields of a form, typo3 raises an error. Error message is "Uncaught TYPO3 Exception: #1320830276: A hashed string must contain at least 40 characters, the given string was only 6 characters long. | TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Security\Exception\InvalidArgumentForHashGenerationException thrown in file ......../htdocs/typo3_src-8.7.24/typo3/sysext/extbase/Classes/Security/Cryptography/HashService.php in line 90" or "Uncaught TYPO3 Exception: #1320830018: The given string was not appended with a valid HMAC. TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Security\Exception\InvalidHashException thrown in file| ......./htdocs/typo3_src-8.7.24/typo3/sysext/extbase/Classes/Security/Cryptography/HashService.php in line 94".
If a bot or user manipulates for example the hidden trustedproperties field "name="tx_vayoga_contact[__trustedProperties]" or "name="tx_vayoga_contact[__referrer][@request]".

In my opinion the exception should be checked before. For example if the string is long enough or can be hmac parsed. But to be honest it spams the protocol. You cannot focus on the real issues.
What you think about it?
Kind regards,
Harald
