Threats affecting pkg:github/typo3/typo3

Backend users with file download permissions were able to download files from the fallback storage of the file abstraction layer (FAL) via the Media Module. Since the fallback storage resolves paths relative to the server's document root, this could expose sensitive files such as log files. This issue affects TYPO3 CMS versions 11.0.0-11.5.50, 12.0.0-12.4.45, 13.0.0-13.4.30 and 14.0.0-14.3.2.

Backend users with write access to the form_definition database table were able to directly create, update, or delete form definition records via DataHandler, bypassing the Form Framework's persistence validation and permission checks. This allowed injecting arbitrary form configurations, re-enabling attack vectors originally addressed in TYPO3-CORE-SA-2018-003, including SQL injection and privilege escalation. This issue affects TYPO3 CMS versions 14.0.0-14.3.2.

TYPO3's cache frontend (VariableFrontend) and persistent key-value store (Registry) deserialized PHP payloads without integrity validation or class restrictions. An attacker with write access to the underlying storage backend (cache store or sys_registry database table) could inject a crafted serialized payload to trigger PHP Object Injection, potentially exploiting a gadget chain to achieve Remote Code Execution or other high-impact effects. Exploiting this vulnerability requires direct local write access to the storage, such as the SQL database or file system. This issue affects TYPO3 CMS versions before 10.4.57, 11.0.0-11.5.50, 12.0.0-12.4.45, 13.0.0-13.4.30 and 14.0.0-14.3.2.

Backend users were able to insert arbitrary records and files into the TYPO3 clipboard without proper read permission checks, which allowed users to gather information about records and files they were not authorized to view. This issue affects TYPO3 CMS versions 10.4.0-13.4.30 and 14.0.0-14.3.2.

Backend users were able to move records to a different page without having edit permissions on the source page. This issue affects TYPO3 CMS versions 13.0.0-13.4.30 and 14.0.0-14.3.2.

Editors with access to create or modify page content were able to include HTML markup in page titles that were stored in the search index without sanitization. When displayed in frontend search results via the Indexed Search plugin, these titles were rendered without proper output encoding, resulting in a Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. This issue affects TYPO3 CMS versions 13.0.0-13.4.30 and 14.0.0-14.3.2.

Applications that use GeneralUtility::sanitizeLocalUrl to allow only local URLs are vulnerable to open redirect attacks if the URL is used after it has passed the aforementioned sanitization checks. This enables attackers to redirect users to external content and carry out phishing attacks. This issue affects TYPO3 CMS versions before 10.4.57, 11.0.0-11.5.50, 12.0.0-12.4.45, 13.0.0-13.4.30 and 14.0.0-14.3.2.

Backend users with file write permissions were able to upload form definition files with mixed-case extensions (e.g., .FORM.YAML) to bypass the Form Framework's upload restriction. Maliciously crafted form definition files can be used to execute arbitrary SQL statements, allowing attackers to escalate privileges by creating administrative backend user accounts. This issue affects TYPO3 CMS versions before 10.4.57, 11.0.0-11.5.50, 12.0.0-12.4.45, 13.0.0-13.4.30 and 14.0.0-14.3.2.

Backend users with access to the Form Framework were able to use files not ending in .form.yaml as form definitions, which were processed without denying the incorrect file extension. Maliciously crafted form definition files can be used to execute arbitrary SQL statements, allowing attackers to escalate privileges by creating administrative backend user accounts. This issue affects TYPO3 CMS versions before 10.4.57, 11.0.0-11.5.50, 12.0.0-12.4.45, 13.0.0-13.4.30 and 14.0.0-14.3.2.

Changing backend users' passwords via the user settings module results in storing the cleartext password in the uc and user_settings fields of the be_users database table. This issue affects TYPO3 CMS version 14.2.0.

TYPO3 before 13.3.1 allows denial of service (interface error) in the Bookmark Toolbar (ext:backend), exploitable by an administrator-level backend user account via manipulated data saved in the bookmark toolbar of the backend user interface. The fixed versions are 10.4.46 ELTS, 11.5.40 LTS, 12.4.21 LTS, and 13.3.1.
