What is GHSA-hww5-6x85-mc24?
GHSA-hww5-6x85-mc24 is a code injection vulnerability in typo3/cms, published on 5 Jun 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Backend API configuration using Page TSconfig is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution and cross-site scripting. TSconfig fields of page properties in backend forms can be used to inject malicious sequences. Field tsconfig_includes is vulnerable to directory traversal leading to same scenarios as having direct access to TSconfig settings.
A valid backend user account having access to modify values for fields pages.TSconfig and pages.tsconfig_includes is needed in order to exploit this vulnerability.
