Remote code execution via serialized response header
Published May 19, 2026 · Updated May 19, 2026
Insecure deserialization in TYPO3 Site Crawler before 11.0.13 and 12.0.0 through 12.0.10 allows remote authenticated users to execute code. The extension passes the X-T3Crawler-Meta response header from a crawled URL directly to PHP's unserialize(), permitting injected object graphs to invoke available gadget code. Exploitation requires administrative access to configure a crawler-enabled page, control of the crawled endpoint, and execution of the crawl by a Scheduler task; successful exploitation runs code on the TYPO3 server.

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 <11.0.13
- Affected versionversion=12.0.0 <12.0.11
