Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in TYPO3 up to 9.5.50/10.4.49/11.5.43/12.4.30/13.4.11 and classified as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the component File Management Module. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a type distinction vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-351. The product does not properly distinguish between different types of elements in a way that leads to insecure behavior. As an impact it is known to affect integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

TYPO3 is an open source, PHP based web content management system. 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`) starting in version 9.0.0 and prior to versions 9.5.51 ELTS, 10.4.50 ELTS, 11.5.44 ELTS, 12.4.31 LTS, and 13.4.12 LTS. 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. Users should update to TYPO3 version 9.5.51 ELTS, 10.4.50 ELTS, 11.5.44 ELTS, 12.4.31 LTS, or 13.4.12 LTS to fix the problem.

It is possible to read the advisory at github.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2025-47939 since 05/14/2025. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be launched remotely. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available. The pricing for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 09/03/2025).

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 236973 (TYPO3 9.0.0 < 9.5.51 ELTS / 10.0.0 < 10.4.50 ELTS / 11.0.0 < 11.5.44 ELTS / 12.0.0 < 12.4.31 / 13.0.0 < 13.4.12 (TYPO3-CORE-SA-2025-014)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.

Upgrading to version 9.5.51, 10.4.50, 11.5.44, 12.4.31 or 13.4.12 eliminates this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at Tenable (236973). Statistical analysis made it clear that VulDB provides the best quality for vulnerability data.
