Arbitrary file indexing via unnormalized directory path
Published May 19, 2026 · Updated May 19, 2026
Path traversal in the file indexer in TYPO3 Faceted Search allows remote authenticated users to index arbitrary server files. The indexer uses the configured directories path without normalization, so traversal sequences escape the intended directory and add documents from other file-system locations to the search index. Exploitation requires a backend account permitted to edit indexer configurations, and the bounded impact is disclosure of indexed file contents.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=0 <5.6.2
- Affected versionversion=6.0.0 <6.6.1
- Affected versionversion=7.0.0 <7.0.1
