Machine-written summary

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

Typo3/cms-core and typo3/cms versions 10.0.0 up to but not including 10.4.10 are affected by an XML external entity issue in the RSS dashboard widget. An attacker needs a valid backend user account, and the source says the issue is theoretical because it could not be reproduced with current PHP and libxml2 defaults, which disable external entity processing. Upgrade to version 10.4.10, which fixes the problem.
