TYPO3 Reveals Sensitive Information via Direct Request to misc/phpcheck/
CVE-2005-4875GHSA-xj84-6q8f-qg2r
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (typo3/cms 3.8.1), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.
This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description
As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.
TYPO3 3.8.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to misc/phpcheck/, which invokes the phpinfo function and prints values of unspecified environment variables.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2005-4875 Advisory: TYPO3 Reveals Sensitive Information via Direct Request to `misc/phpcheck/` IDs: CVE-2005-4875, GHSA-xj84-6q8f-qg2r Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2005-4875 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:30 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: Unrated Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: typo3/cms 3.8.1. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - Packagist typo3/cms: affected < 3.8.1; fixed in 3.8.1 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - Packagist typo3/cms: check the installed version with your package manager. ## Supported action Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on typo3/cms. - Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed. ## Rollback considerations - Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward. ## Unresolved questions - Which deployments run an affected version? - Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority. - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-xj84-6q8f-qg2r (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-xj84-6q8f-qg2r lists affected ranges: Packagist typo3/cms >=0 <3.8.1) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
