Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The sr_feuser_register extension through 12.4.8 for TYPO3 allows Remote Code Execution.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

The sr_feuser_register TYPO3 extension through version 12.4.8 contains a vulnerability allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected TYPO3 system, likely through improper input handling in user registration functionality.

MitigationUpdate sr_feuser_register to the latest patched version beyond 12.4.8, or if unavailable, disable and remove the extension until a fix is released.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if sr_feuser_register extension is installed
    In TYPO3 backend, go to Admin Tools > Extensions > List view and search for 'sr_feuser_register', or run CLI command: typo3cms extension:list | grep sr_feuser_register
    Affected if The extension appears in the list of installed extensions
  2. Determine the installed version of sr_feuser_register
    In the Extensions list view, note the version number displayed next to sr_feuser_register, or run: typo3cms extension:list | grep -i sr_feuser_register
    Affected if The version number is 12.4.8 or lower (versions through 12.4.8 are affected)
  3. Verify the extension is activated on your site
    Check the TYPO3 extension manager configuration for sr_feuser_register status, or inspect the file ext_localconf.php in the extension directory for active configuration
    Affected if The extension is loaded and active in the TYPO3 system
  4. Confirm frontend user registration is enabled
    Check TYPO3 backend: Go to Web > Template > Constant Editor > Plugin > sr_feuser_register, or inspect the TypoScript setup for plugin.tx_srfeuserregister.settings
    Affected if The registration plugin is configured and enabled on the site
  5. Review web server logs for suspicious registration requests
    Examine access logs and TYPO3 logs (typo3temp/var/log/) for unusual POST requests to user registration forms that may indicate exploitation attempts
    Affected if Logs show anomalous requests with suspicious input patterns to registration endpoints

You are affected if the sr_feuser_register extension is installed, active, and running at version 12.4.8 or lower with user registration enabled.
