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
Backend users with access to the Form Framework were able to use files not ending in .form.yaml as form definitions, which were processed without denying the incorrect file extension. Maliciously crafted form definition files can be used to execute arbitrary SQL statements, allowing attackers to escalate privileges by creating administrative backend user accounts. This issue affects TYPO3 CMS versions before 10.4.57, 11.0.0-11.5.50, 12.0.0-12.4.45, 13.0.0-13.4.30 and 14.0.0-14.3.2.

How this class of weakness works · CWE-862

The application checks who you are but not whether you're allowed to perform a given action, so any authenticated user can reach things meant for others. This is the classic “change the ID in the URL” bug. The fix is an authorization check on every request, evaluated against the acting user's permissions.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to TYPO3 CMS 10.4.57 / 11.5.51 / 12.4.46 / 13.4.31 / 14.3.3 or later depending on your current major version

  1. 1. Identify the currently installed TYPO3 CMS version by checking the composer.json file or the TYPO3 backend (Admin Tools > About).
  2. 2. Based on the identified version, determine the target upgrade version: for 10.x upgrade to 10.4.57+, for 11.x upgrade to 11.5.51+, for 12.x upgrade to 12.4.46+, for 13.x upgrade to 13.4.31+, for 14.x upgrade to 14.3.3+.
  3. 3. Create a complete backup of the database and all files, including composer.json and composer.lock.
  4. 4. Update composer.json to require the target patch version: for example, change "typo3/cms":"^12.4" to "typo3/cms":"^12.4.46".
  5. 5. Run `composer update typo3/cms` to fetch and install the patched version.
  6. 6. Verify the upgrade by checking the TYPO3 backend version (Admin Tools > About).
  7. 7. Clear all caches via the Install Tool or by deleting var/cache/* and var/tmp/* directories.
  8. 8. Test the Form Framework functionality to ensure the file extension validation is working correctly.
Caveat Major version upgrades (e.g., 12.x to 13.x) may have breaking changes; review the release notes for deprecations and migration requirements before upgrading
