Summary
Problem
Backend users with access to the Form Framework were able to use files not ending in .form.yaml as form definitions, which were processed without denying the incorrect file extension. Maliciously crafted form definition files can be used to execute arbitrary SQL statements, allowing attackers to escalate privileges by creating administrative backend user accounts.

Impact
The application does not perform an authorization check before performing a sensitive operation. Typical impact: unauthorized access to restricted functionality or data.
Affected versions
Security releases
Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
Remediation advice
Update to TYPO3 versions 10.4.57 ELTS, 11.5.51 ELTS, 12.4.46 ELTS, 13.4.31 LTS, 14.3.3 LTS that fix the problem described.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2026-11607? CVE-2026-11607 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in typo3/cms-core (composer), affecting versions < 10.4.57. It is fixed in 10.4.57, 11.5.51, 12.4.46, 13.4.31, 14.3.3. The application does not perform an authorization check before performing a sensitive operation.
- Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-11607?
typo3/cms-core(composer) (versions < 10.4.57)typo3/cms-form(composer) (versions < 10.4.57)
- Is there a fix for CVE-2026-11607? Yes. CVE-2026-11607 is fixed in 10.4.57, 11.5.51, 12.4.46, 13.4.31, 14.3.3. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is CVE-2026-11607 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2026-11607 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2026-11607 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
