TYPO3 Brute Force Protection Bypass in backend login

GHSA-jqr8-q455-xx45

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (typo3/cms 7.3.1, 6.2.14), 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.

The backend login has a basic brute force protection implementation which pauses for 5 seconds if wrong credentials are given. This pause however could be bypassed by forging a special request, making brute force attacks on backend editor credentials more feasible.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-jqr8-q455-xx45

Advisory: TYPO3 Brute Force Protection Bypass in backend login
IDs: GHSA-jqr8-q455-xx45
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-jqr8-q455-xx45 (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 7.3.1, 6.2.14. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist typo3/cms: affected >= 6.2.0, < 6.2.14; >= 7.0.0, < 7.3.1; fixed in 7.3.1, 6.2.14

## 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-jqr8-q455-xx45 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-jqr8-q455-xx45 lists affected ranges: Packagist typo3/cms >=6.2.0 =7.0.0 <7.3.1)
