GHSA-jf56-v8jc-jcc5 TYPO3 CMS has Broken Access Control in its File Abstraction Layer

• Packagist typo3/cms-core: < 10.4.57 → fixed in 10.4.57 • Packagist typo3/cms-core: >= 11.0.0, < 11.5.51 → fixed in 11.5.51 • Packagist typo3/cms-core: >= 12.0.0, < 12.4.46 → fixed in 12.4.46 • Packagist typo3/cms-core: >= 13.0.0, < 13.4.31 → fixed in 13.4.31 • Packagist typo3/cms-core: >= 14.0.0, < 14.3.3 → fixed in 14.3.3

Problem The path allowance check in `GeneralUtility::isAllowedAbsPath()` performed a plain string prefix comparison without requiring a directory separator boundary, causing a path like `/var/www/html-other/secret.yaml` to be incorrectly accepted as valid when the project root was `/var/www/html`. Administrator users with access to the File Abstraction Layer were able to create new file storage definitions pointing to directories outside the project root, bypassing this path check. Solution Update to TYPO3 versions 10.4.57 ELTS, 11.5.51 ELTS, 12.4.46 ELTS, 13.4.31 LTS, 14.3.3 LTS that fix the problem described. Credits TYPO3 CMS thanks Wolfgang Klinger for reporting this issue, and to TYPO3 core & security team member Oliver Hader for fixing it. Resources • TYPO3-CORE-SA-2026-016
