Description
Backend users with file download permissions were able to download files from the fallback storage of the file abstraction layer (FAL) via the Media Module. Since the fallback storage resolves paths relative to the server's document root, this could expose sensitive files such as log files. This issue affects TYPO3 CMS versions 11.0.0-11.5.50, 12.0.0-12.4.45, 13.0.0-13.4.30 and 14.0.0-14.3.2.
Problem types
CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
CWE-200 Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Product status
11.0.0 (semver) before 11.5.51
12.0.0 (semver) before 12.4.46
13.0.0 (semver) before 13.4.31
14.0.0 (semver) before 14.3.3
