## Affected packages

- `typo3/cms-core` (Packagist): affected `>=9.0.0, <9.5.17 || >=10.0.0, <10.4.2`; fixed in `9.5.17`, `10.4.2`
- `typo3/cms` (Packagist): affected `>=10.0.0, <10.4.2 || >=9.0.0, <9.5.17`; fixed in `10.4.2`, `9.5.17`

## 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, versions from 9.0.0 before 9.5.17 and from 10.0.0 before 10.4.2, are vulnerable to same-origin request forgery in the backend and install tool. An attacker who has uploaded a malicious file to the web server, or who can supply HTML through a third-party extension, can trick a logged-in backend or install tool user into executing it, which may create new admin users. Upgrade to typo3/cms-core or typo3/cms 9.5.17 or 10.4.2. As a further measure, disallow direct script execution for /fileadmin/ and /uploads/ via Content Security Policy.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-pqg8-crx9-g8m4>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
