Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable by unauthenticated users?

No. Exploitation requires a valid TYPO3 backend account with access to the recycler module. However, low-privileged or misconfigured accounts could still leverage it to cause severe data loss.

What level of access does an attacker need to exploit this?

The attacker must be an authenticated backend user who can log into the TYPO3 backend and access the recycler module. They do not need explicit delete permissions for the individual tables they target; the vulnerability bypasses those per-table checks.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this issue?

Enforce strict, per-table authorization checks before performing any deletion and ensure that recycler functionality respects the same permission model used elsewhere in TYPO3. Align the recycler's delete behavior with existing access control rules so that having recycler access alone is not sufficient to delete from every TCA table.
