typo3/cms-core
source listedECOSYSTEM: introduced 0; fixed 10.4.57
### Problem TYPO3's cache frontend (`VariableFrontend`) and persistent key-value store (`Registry`) deserialized PHP payloads without integrity validation or class restrictions. An attacker with write access to the underlying storage backend (cache store or sys_registry database table) could inject a crafted serialized payload to trigger PHP Object Injection, potentially exploiting a gadget chain to achieve Remote Code Execution or other high-impact effects. Exploiting this vulnerability requires direct local write access to the storage, such as the SQL database or file system. ### 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 “z3rco”, Chowdhury Faizal Ahammed, Rick Larabee, Vitaly Simonovich, Nozomu Sasaki, Mert Akdag, “tikket”, Shafi Almutairi for reporting this issue, and to TYPO3 core & security team member Oliver Hader for fixing it. ### Resources * TYPO3-CORE-SA-2026-018
