Cross-Site Scripting in TYPO3's Form Framework
> ### Meta
> * CVSS: `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:F/RL:O/RC:C` (4.9)

### Problem
It has been discovered that the Form Designer backend module of the Form Framework is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. A valid backend user account with access to the form module is needed to exploit this vulnerability.

### Solution
Update to TYPO3 versions 8.7.47 ELTS, 9.5.35 ELTS, 10.4.29, 11.5.11 that fix the problem described above.

### Credits
Thanks to Gabe Troyan who reported and fixed the issue.

TYPO3 Allows Unrestricted File Upload in File Abstraction Layer
### Problem
By design, the file management module in TYPO3’s backend user interface has historically allowed the upload of any file type, with the exception of those that are directly executable in a web server context. This lack of restriction means it is possible to upload files that may be considered potentially harmful, such as executable binaries (e.g., `.exe` files), or files with inconsistent file extensions and MIME types (for example, a file incorrectly named with a `.png` extension but actually carrying the MIME type `application/zip`).

Although such files are not directly executable through the web server, their presence can introduce indirect risks. For example, third-party services such as antivirus scanners or malware detection systems might flag or block access to the website for end users if suspicious files are found. This could negatively affect the availability or reputation of the site.

### Solution
Update to TYPO3 versions 9.5.51 ELTS, 10.4.50 ELTS, 11.5.44 ELTS, 12.4.31 LTS, 13.4.12 LTS that fix the problem described.

> [!NOTE]
> The mitigation strategies outlined below apply broadly to all file uploads handled through TYPO3's File Abstraction Layer (FAL), not just those performed via the backend interface. This means that any extension or custom integration leveraging FAL will also be subject to the new validation rules and configuration options. Developers are advised to review the implications for their code and refer to the [documentation of that change](https://docs.typo3.org/c/typo3/cms-core/main/en-us/Changelog/12.4.x/Important-106240-EnforceFile-extensionsAndMime-typeConsistencyInFileAbstractionLayer.html) for guidance.

> [!IMPORTANT]
>
> **Strong security defaults - Manual actions required**
> 
> These versions introduce new configuration options to better control which files are permitted for upload and to improve consistency checks.
> 
> A new configuration option, `$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['miscfile_ext']`, has been added. This option allows administrators to explicitly define which file extensions should be permitted that are not already part of the built-in text or media file groups - examples include archive formats such as `zip` or `xz`.
> 
> In addition, two new feature flags have been introduced to enhance security:
> * `security.system.enforceAllowedFileExtensions`, enforces the defined list of allowed file extensions. This flag is enabled by default in new TYPO3 installations, but remains disabled in existing installations to prevent breaking changes.
> * `security.system.enforceFileExtensionMimeTypeConsistency`, ensures that the uploaded file’s extension matches its actual MIME type, providing further validation of file integrity. This flag is active by default.
> 
> It is recommended to configure the allowed file extensions via `$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['miscfile_ext']` and to enable the feature flag `security.system.enforceAllowedFileExtensions` to enforce the restriction.

TYPO3 CMS Stored Cross-Site Scripting via FileDumpController
> ### Meta
> * CVSS: `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:F/RL:O/RC:C` (5.0)

### Problem
It has been discovered that the `FileDumpController` (backend and frontend context) is vulnerable to cross-site scripting when malicious files are displayed using this component. A valid backend user account is needed to exploit this vulnerability.

### Solution
Update to TYPO3 version 7.6.58 ELTS, 8.7.48 ELTS, 9.5.37 ELTS, 10.4.32 or 11.5.16 that fix the problem described above.

### Credits

TYPO3 Unverified Password Change for Backend Users
### Problem
The backend user management interface allows password changes without requiring the current password. When an administrator updates their own account or modifies other user accounts via the admin interface, the current password is not requested for verification.

This behavior may lower the protection against unauthorized access in scenarios where an admin session is hijacked or left unattended, as it enables password changes without additional authentication.

### Solution
Update to TYPO3 versions 9.5.51 ELTS, 10.4.50 ELTS, 11.5.44 ELTS, 12.4.31 LTS, 13.4.12 LTS that fix the problem described.

> [!NOTE]
> In these versions, administrators are required to verify their identity through step-up authentication (also known as sudo mode) when changing backend user passwords.

TYPO3 Install Tool vulnerable to Code Execution
### 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.

TYPO3 HTML Sanitizer Bypasses Cross-Site Scripting Protection
> ### Meta

### Problem
Due to a parsing issue in upstream package [`masterminds/html5`](https://packagist.org/packages/masterminds/html5), malicious markup used in a sequence with special HTML comments cannot be filtered and sanitized. This allows to by-pass the cross-site scripting mechanism of [`typo3/html-sanitizer`](https://github.com/TYPO3/html-sanitizer).

### Solution
Update to TYPO3 version 7.6.58 ELTS, 8.7.48 ELTS, 9.5.37 ELTS, 10.4.32 or 11.5.16 that fix the problem described above.
