Published 1 May 2022 · Updated 4 Apr 2025

Affected package

Affected: <3.8.1
Fixed in: 3.8.1

Update to the fixed version for your release line, for example:composer require typo3/cms:^3.8.1

Details

TYPO3 3.8.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to misc/phpcheck/, which invokes the phpinfo function and prints values of unspecified environment variables.

Is GHSA-xj84-6q8f-qg2r 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.

Scan a project free, no signup Or connect GitHub to scan every repo
