Technical details

A missing authorization and improper file extension validation vulnerability exists in the TYPO3 Form Framework (CWE-862). Backend users with access to the framework can provide form definition files that do not use the mandatory '.form.yaml' extension. These maliciously crafted files are processed by the system, leading to the execution of arbitrary SQL statements. An attacker with low-level backend privileges can exploit this to perform unauthorized database operations, such as creating new administrative user accounts. The issue is resolved in TYPO3 versions 10.4.57 ELTS, 11.5.51 ELTS, 12.4.46 ELTS, 13.4.31 LTS, and 14.3.3 LTS.
