Details

Problem

Several settings in the Install Tool for configuring the path to system binaries were vulnerable to code execution. Exploiting this vulnerability requires an administrator-level backend user account with system maintainer permissions.

The corresponding change for this advisory involves enforcing the known disadvantages described in TYPO3-PSA-2020-002: Protecting Install Tool with Sudo Mode.

Solution

Update to TYPO3 versions 8.7.57 ELTS, 9.5.46 ELTS, 10.4.43 ELTS, 11.5.35 LTS, 12.4.11 LTS, 13.0.1 that fix the problem described.

Is GHSA-5w2h-59j3-8x5w 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-core, and gives you the command that fixes it.
