Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

The sanitizeLocalUrl function in TYPO3 6.x before 6.2.15, 7.x before 7.4.0, 4.5.40, and earlier allows remote authenticated users to bypass the XSS filter and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a base64 encoded data URI, as demonstrated by the (1) returnUrl parameter to showrechis.php and the (2) redirecturl parameter to index.php.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2015-5956

Advisory: TYPO3 cross-site scripting (XSS)
IDs: CVE-2015-5956, GHSA-989h-wv8x-933p
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2015-5956 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:20 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: Partial vendor fix; fixed versions by package: typo3/cms 7.4.0, 6.2.15. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist typo3/cms: affected >= 6.0, < 6.2.15; >= 7.0, < 7.4.0; >= 4.0, <= 4.5.40; fixed in 7.4.0, 6.2.15

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist typo3/cms: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## 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-989h-wv8x-933p (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-989h-wv8x-933p lists affected ranges: Packagist typo3/cms >=6.0 =7.0 =4.0 <=4.5.40)
