TYPO3 Install Tool vulnerable to Code Execution

  • Disclosed: 13.02.2024
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Problem

Several settings in the Install Tool for configuring the path to system binaries were vulnerable to code execution. Exploiting this vulnerability requires an administrator-level backend user account with system maintainer permissions.

The corresponding change for this advisory involves enforcing the known disadvantages described in TYPO3-PSA-2020-002: Protecting Install Tool with Sudo Mode.

Solution

Update to TYPO3 versions 8.7.57 ELTS, 9.5.46 ELTS, 10.4.43 ELTS, 11.5.35 LTS, 12.4.11 LTS, 13.0.1 that fix the problem described.
