CVE-2026-49738
TYPO3 CMS - Broken Access Control in File Abstraction Layer
Description
The path allowance check in GeneralUtility::isAllowedAbsPath() performed a plain string prefix comparison without requiring a directory separator boundary, causing a path like /var/www/html-other/secret.yaml to be incorrectly accepted as valid when the project root was /var/www/html. Administrator users with access to the File Abstraction Layer were able to create new file storage definitions pointing to directories outside the project root, bypassing this path check. This issue affects TYPO3 CMS versions before 10.4.57, 11.0.0-11.5.51, 12.0.0-12.4.46, 13.0.0-13.4.31 and 14.0.0-14.3.3.
