    TYPO3 CMS - Broken Access Control in Backend and Install Tool

    CVE-2026-19418 · GHSA-68jx-f42c-7599

    Affected
    • Packagist typo3/cms-backend >= 13.0.0, < 13.4.34
    Fixed in
    13.4.34· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    Problem The referrer enforcement introduced with TYPO3-CORE-SA-2020-006 (CVE-2020-11069) became ineffective in TYPO3 v13.0, where TYPO3 CMS started serving the backend and Admin Tool applications from the site's main entry script instead of the dedicated typo3/ directory. Whether a request originated from the backend or Install Tool itself was determined by comparing the referrer against the directory of the entry script, which since then is the site root. As a consequence, requests originating from any script running on one of the TYPO3 instance's own domains, such as a frontend page, were accepted by backend routes and Install Tool endpoints. Attackers able to execute JavaScript on one of those domains, for instance by exploiting a cross-site scripting vulnerability, could invoke these endpoints via Fetch/XHR with the privileges of an authenticated victim's user session. Solution Update to TYPO3 versions 13.4.34 LTS, 14.3.6 LTS that fix the problem described. Credits Thanks to Hổ…

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 13.4.34 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.

    TYPO3 CMS Stores Cleartext Password in User Settings Module

    CVE-2026-6553 · GHSA-xvv6-p4wf-mvx7

    Affected
    • Packagist typo3/cms-backend >= 14.2.0, <= 14.2.0
    Fixed in
    14.3.0· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    Problem The backend user settings module (SetupModuleController) incorrectly conflates entity data (like passwords or email address) with user-interface settings (like theme, display options) when persisting changes. As a result, passwords were stored in cleartext in the uc and usersettings fields of the beusers database table. The cleartext data was only persisted if users changed their credentials in the backend user settings module when the TYPO3 14.2.0 release was used (not in any other version). Solution Update to TYPO3 version 14.3.0 LTS which fixes the problem described. [!IMPORTANT] Manual actions required Updating to the patched release does not retroactively clean existing data. It is recommended to execute all User Settings upgrade wizards in the TYPO3 Install Tool, including the dedicated User Settings Scrubbing wizard, which sanitizes the incorrectly persisted cleartext values from the uc and usersettings fields of the beusers table.

    Issue
    Problem By exploiting the defVals parameter, attackers could bypass field‑level access checks during record creation in the TYPO3 backend. This gave them the ability to insert arbitrary data into prohibited exclude fields of a database table for which the user already has write permission for a reduced set of fields.
