Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Problem
TYPO3's cache frontend (`VariableFrontend`) and persistent key-value store (`Registry`) deserialized PHP payloads without integrity validation or class restrictions. An attacker with write access to the underlying storage backend (cache store or sys_registry database table) could inject a crafted serialized payload to trigger PHP Object Injection, potentially exploiting a gadget chain to achieve Remote Code Execution or other high-impact effects.
Exploiting this vulnerability requires direct local write access to the storage, such as the SQL database or file system.
### Solution
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.
