Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-552.
Summary
TYPO3 CMS versions from 14.0.0 before 14.3.9 are affected. Forms using FileUpload or ImageUpload elements with a custom saveToFileMount store uploaded files in the default storage folder 1:/user_upload/ instead of the configured destination. Files placed there can end up in publicly accessible storage even when a restricted, non-public storage was configured, and they are served directly without the access checks applied to non-public storages. Forms that keep the default saveToFileMount value are not affected.

Description from the CNA
Forms using FileUpload or ImageUpload elements with a custom saveToFileMount configured stored uploaded files in the default storage folder 1:/user_upload/ instead of the configured destination. This could cause uploaded files to end up in a publicly accessible storage even though a restricted, non-public storage had been configured. Files stored this way are served directly, without the access checks applied to non-public storages. Forms that use the default value for saveToFileMount are not affected. This issue affects TYPO3 CMS versions 14.0.0-14.3.8.
