02 / Applicability

The affected context

Affected versions, configuration prerequisites and known exclusions are public. Confirm each one against the deployed service.

typo3/cms-core

source listed
  • < 10.4.57

### Problem The path allowance check in `GeneralUtility::isAllowedAbsPath()` performed a plain string prefix comparison without requiring a directory separator boundary, causing a path like `/var/www/html-other/secret.yaml` to be incorrectly accepted as valid when the project root was `/var/www/html`. Administrator users with access to the File Abstraction Layer were able to create new file storage definitions pointing to directories outside the project root, bypassing this path check. ### Solution Update to TYPO3 versions 10.4.57 ELTS, 11.5.51 ELTS, 12.4.46 ELTS, 13.4.31 LTS, 14.3.3 LTS that fix the problem described. ### Credits TYPO3 CMS thanks Wolfgang Klinger for reporting this issue, and to TYPO3 core & security team member Oliver Hader for fixing it. ### Resources * TYPO3-CORE-SA-2026-016

A fixed release is not deployment evidence.

Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
