Which packages are affected by GHSA-7vp9-x248-9vr9?

GHSA-7vp9-x248-9vr9 affects the following packages: typo3/cms-core (Packagist), typo3/cms-core (Packagist), typo3/cms-core (Packagist), typo3/cms-core (Packagist), typo3/cms-core (Packagist). Ecosystems affected: Packagist.

How do I fix GHSA-7vp9-x248-9vr9?

Update typo3/cms-core to 14.0.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-7vp9-x248-9vr9 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-7vp9-x248-9vr9 in my Packagist dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for typo3/cms-core, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-7vp9-x248-9vr9 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against GHSA-7vp9-x248-9vr9?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-7vp9-x248-9vr9 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-7vp9-x248-9vr9 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-7vp9-x248-9vr9 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-7vp9-x248-9vr9?

GHSA-7vp9-x248-9vr9 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.2%, placing it in the 9th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-7vp9-x248-9vr9?

GHSA-7vp9-x248-9vr9 is classified as Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CWE-502). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was GHSA-7vp9-x248-9vr9 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-7vp9-x248-9vr9 was published on January 13, 2026 and was last updated on February 3, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Problem

Local platform users who can write to TYPO3’s mail‑file spool directory can craft a file that the system will automatically deserialize without any class restrictions. This flaw allows an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code in the public scope of the web server.

The vulnerability is triggered when TYPO3 is configured with $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['MAIL']['transport_spool_type'] = 'file'; and a scheduler task or cron job runs the command mailer:spool:send. The spool‑send operation performs the insecure deserialization that is at the core of this issue.

Solution

Update to TYPO3 versions 10.4.55 ELTS, 11.5.49 ELTS, 12.4.41 LTS, 13.4.23 LTS, 14.0.2 that fix the problem described.
