Synopsis

The remote webserver is affected by a vulnerability

Description

The version of TYPO3 installed on the remote host is 9.0.0 prior to 9.5.51 ELTS / 10.0.0 prior to 10.4.50 ELTS / 11.0.0 prior to 11.5.44 ELTS / 12.0.0 prior to 12.4.31 / 13.0.0 prior to 13.4.12. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TYPO3-CORE-SA-2025-014 advisory.

 - 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). 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. (CVE-2025-47939)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to TYPO3 9.5.51 ELTS, 10.4.50 ELTS, 11.5.44 ELTS, 12.4.31, 13.4.12 or later.
