Details

The (1) file upload component and (2) File Abstraction Layer (FAL) in TYPO3 6.0.x before 6.0.8 and 6.1.x before 6.1.3 do not properly check file extensions, which allow remote authenticated editors to execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a .php file.

Is GHSA-54jj-pxx2-pv8h in any of your client repos?

Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected typo3/cms, and gives you the command that fixes it.
