Summary
TYPO3 Remote Code Execution in third party library swiftmailer
TYPO3 uses the package swiftmailer/swiftmailer for mail actions. This package is known to be vulnerable to Remote Code Execution.
Impact
Untrusted input is evaluated as executable code within the application's runtime environment. Typical impact: arbitrary code execution within the application's privilege context.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is GHSA-G4PF-3JVQ-2GCW? GHSA-G4PF-3JVQ-2GCW is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in typo3/cms (composer), affecting versions >= 6.2.0, < 6.2.30. It is fixed in 6.2.30, 7.6.15, 8.5.1. Untrusted input is evaluated as executable code within the application's runtime environment.
- Which versions of typo3/cms are affected by GHSA-G4PF-3JVQ-2GCW? typo3/cms (composer) versions >= 6.2.0, < 6.2.30 is affected.
- Is there a fix for GHSA-G4PF-3JVQ-2GCW? Yes. GHSA-G4PF-3JVQ-2GCW is fixed in 6.2.30, 7.6.15, 8.5.1. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is GHSA-G4PF-3JVQ-2GCW exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-G4PF-3JVQ-2GCW 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 GHSA-G4PF-3JVQ-2GCW 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.
