Description
Description
The extension fails to properly define allowed classes used when deserializing transport failure metadata. An attacker may exploit this to execute untrusted serialized code. Note that an active exploit requires write access to the directory configured at $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['MAIL']['transport_spool_filepath'].

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for cpsit/typo3-mailqueue, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update cpsit/typo3-mailqueue to 0.4.5 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-2pm6-9fhx-vvg3 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Do not deserialise data from untrusted sources: where the format allows it, restrict deserialisation to an explicit allowlist of expected types, and prefer a data-only format (JSON, Protobuf) over one that can reconstruct arbitrary objects until you can upgrade.
