TYPO3 Denial of Service in Online Media Asset Handling

GHSA-f3wf-q4fj-3gxf

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (typo3/cms 9.5.2, 8.7.21, 7.6.32), 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.

Online Media Asset Handling (.youtube and .vimeo files) in the TYPO3 backend is vulnerable to denial of service. Putting large files with according file extensions results in high consumption of system resources. This can lead to exceeding limits of the current PHP process which results in a dysfunctional backend component. A valid backend user account or write access on the server system (e.g. SFTP) is needed in order to exploit this vulnerability.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-f3wf-q4fj-3gxf

Advisory: TYPO3 Denial of Service in Online Media Asset Handling
IDs: GHSA-f3wf-q4fj-3gxf
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-f3wf-q4fj-3gxf (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:25 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 6.5)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: typo3/cms 9.5.2, 8.7.21, 7.6.32. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist typo3/cms: affected >= 7.0.0, < 7.6.32; >= 8.0.0, < 8.7.21; >= 9.0.0, < 9.5.2; fixed in 8.7.21, 9.5.2, 7.6.32

## 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-f3wf-q4fj-3gxf (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-f3wf-q4fj-3gxf lists affected ranges: Packagist typo3/cms >=7.0.0 =8.0.0 =9.0.0 <9.5.2)
