Published Sep 8, 2026 Modified Sep 8, 2026 CWE-266 CWE-862

Description

Backend administrators without system maintainer privileges were able to schedule any of the configuration:read, configuration:set, and configuration:show commands.

As a consequence, this allowed them, for example, to gain system maintainer privileges or cause a denial of service. Exploiting this vulnerability requires an administrator-level backend user account. This issue affects TYPO3 CMS versions 14.2.0-14.3.6.
