Component Type: TYPO3 CMSSubcomponent: Form Framework (ext:form)Release Date: June 9, 2026Vulnerability Type: Privilege Escalation & SQL InjectionAffected Versions: 14.0.0-14.3.2Severity: HighSuggested CVSS: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:NReferences: CVE-2026-49741, CWE-89, CWE-862
Problem Description
Backend users with write access to the form_definition database table were able to directly create, update, or delete form definition records via DataHandler, bypassing the Form Framework's persistence validation and permission checks. This allowed injecting arbitrary form configurations, re-enabling attack vectors originally addressed in TYPO3-CORE-SA-2018-003, including SQL injection and privilege escalation.
Solution
Update to TYPO3 version 14.3.3 LTS that fixes the problem described.
