GHSA-mfqj-cqv3-h7xw
Fix: TYPO3/typo3@817ad41GHSA-mfqj-cqv3-h7xw is a CWE-351 vulnerability in typo3/cms-form. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-mfqj-cqv3-h7xw is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
TYPO3 CMS - Unrestricted File Upload in Form Framework
Real-World Exposure
typo3/cms-formReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Problem
Users were able to upload files with arbitrary MIME types to forms using FileUpload or ImageUpload elements with allowedMimeTypes configured - uploading PHP files was not possible. The restriction was not enforced server-side because the MimeTypeValidator was registered during form building before concrete form definition properties were applied, resulting in the validator never being added to the processing pipeline.
Solution
Update to TYPO3 version 14.3.5 LTS that fixes the problem described.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for typo3/cms-form. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update typo3/cms-form to 14.3.5 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-mfqj-cqv3-h7xw is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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 O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-mfqj-cqv3-h7xw is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-mfqj-cqv3-h7xw. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
