CVE-2026-11607 TYPO3 CVE debrief
CVE-2026-11607 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting TYPO3 CMS versions before 10.4.57, 11.0.0-11.5.51, 12.0.0-12.4.46, 13.0.0-13.4.31, and 14.0.0-14.3.3. The issue allows backend users with access to the Form Framework to use files not ending in .form.yaml as form definitions, which are processed without denying the incorrect file extension. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary SQL statements, potentially allowing attackers to escalate privileges by creating administrative backend user accounts. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.6 and is considered HIGH severity.

Who should care
Users of TYPO3 CMS, especially those with backend user accounts and access to the Form Framework, should be aware of this vulnerability and take immediate action to mitigate the risk.
Technical summary
The vulnerability arises from the improper handling of form definition files in TYPO3 CMS.

This can be exploited by malicious users to execute arbitrary SQL statements, potentially leading to privilege escalation.
