Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

TYPO3 CMS (packages typo3/cms-core and typo3/cms) has a weakness in frontend login where restricting logins to users in specific storage folders can be bypassed through ambiguous usernames. An attacker who already knows valid credentials could use this to access a different account. Upgrade typo3/cms-core to 8.7.49, 9.5.38, 10.4.33, 11.5.20 or 12.1.1 as appropriate for your branch, or typo3/cms to 10.4.33, 11.5.20 or 12.1.1.
