TYPO3 CMS has Broken Access Control in its Media Module
CVE-2026-49742GHSA-chm7-4vch-h8vr
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (typo3/cms-filelist 14.3.3, 13.4.31, 12.4.46, 11.5.51; typo3/cms-core 14.3.3, 13.4.31, 12.4.46, 11.5.51), 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.
Problem 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. Solution Update to TYPO3 versions 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 Hyunseo Shin for reporting this issue, and to TYPO3 security team member Torben Hansen for fixing it. Resources TYPO3-CORE-SA-2026-013

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-49742 Advisory: TYPO3 CMS has Broken Access Control in its Media Module IDs: CVE-2026-49742, GHSA-chm7-4vch-h8vr Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-49742 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:49 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: High (CVSS 7.1) Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: typo3/cms-filelist 14.3.3, 13.4.31, 12.4.46, 11.5.51; typo3/cms-core 14.3.3, 13.4.31, 12.4.46, 11.5.51. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - Packagist typo3/cms-filelist: affected >= 11.0.0, < 11.5.51; >= 12.0.0, < 12.4.46; >= 13.0.0, < 13.4.31; >= 14.0.0, < 14.3.3; fixed in 11.5.51, 13.4.31, 12.4.46, 14.3.3 - Packagist typo3/cms-core: affected >= 11.0.0, < 11.5.51; >= 12.0.0, < 12.4.46; >= 13.0.0, < 13.4.31; >= 14.0.0, < 14.3.3; fixed in 11.5.51, 13.4.31, 12.4.46, 14.3.3 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - Packagist typo3/cms-filelist: check the installed version with your package manager. - Packagist typo3/cms-core: 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-filelist, typo3/cms-core. - 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-chm7-4vch-h8vr (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-chm7-4vch-h8vr lists affected ranges: Packagist typo3/cms-core >=11.0.0 =12.0.0 =13.0.0 =14.0.0 =11.0.0 =12.0.0 =13.0.0 =14.0.0 <14.3.3) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
