The rsaauth extension in TYPO3 4.3.0 through 4.3.14, 4.4.0 through 4.4.15, 4.5.0 through 4.5.39, and 4.6.0 through 4.6.18, when configured for the frontend, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via a password that is casted to an empty value.

The Authentication component in TYPO3 before 6.2, when salting for password hashing is disabled, does not require knowledge of the cleartext password if the password hash is known, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain access to the backend by leveraging knowledge of a password hash.
