Exploitation Conditions

Requires the site to run the 'typo3_fluid-form_by_coding.ms' TYPO3 extension with its HTML summary-email notification feature enabled, and a publicly reachable form whose submitted field values are included in that email. Exploitation is unauthenticated and remote against the form, but is LIMITED by passive user interaction (UI:P): the injected HTML only affects the email recipient when they open the summary message, and impact is further constrained because the payload executes in an email client (which typically neutralizes active scripting) rather than in a live web session. The impacted party is the notification recipient (operator), not general site visitors.

Impact

This is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.3) stored HTML injection (CWE-79) in a third-party TYPO3 extension. The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N) signals a network-reachable, unauthenticated, low-complexity flaw whose only impact is limited integrity (VI:L) on the vulnerable system, with no confidentiality or availability impact and no scope/subsequent-system change. Crucially, exploitation is gated on passive user interaction (UI:P): the injected HTML only takes effect when the email recipient opens the summary message. There is no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit referenced - only a single vendor advisory (TYPO3-EXT-SA-2026-033) - so this is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The practical risk is modest: the payload lands in an HTML email rather than a live web session, and most modern mail clients strip active scripting, which constrains this closer to HTML/phishing content injection than full browser XSS. Note also that the injection target is the email recipient (typically a site operator/form-notification receiver), not arbitrary site visitors. Overall this is a genuine but low-priority issue, not a high-urgency threat.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker submits the public-facing Fluid form with HTML markup embedded in a field value. The application builds an HTML summary email from those values without escaping them, so when the notification recipient (e.g., a site administrator) opens the email, the attacker's markup renders - enabling spoofed content, misleading links, or phishing lures inside a trusted-looking message. No public exploit code is referenced, and success depends on the recipient opening the crafted email (UI:P).

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 20, 2026

Stored HTML injection in the TYPO3 Fluid Form extension (typo3_fluid-form_by_coding.ms) lets unauthenticated remote attackers submit form values that are rendered unescaped in the HTML summary email sent to the site operator. The issue is medium severity (CVSS 5.3, CWE-79) and requires the extension's HTML summary-email notification feature to be enabled with a publicly reachable form; impact is limited to the recipient opening the email, where active scripting is typically suppressed, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Apply the fixed extension release referenced by the TYPO3 security advisory https://typo3.org/security/advisory/typo3-ext-sa-2026-033; the provided data does not include an exact fix version, so confirm the appropriate typo3_fluid-form_by_coding.ms update in the advisory before upgrading. If an immediate update is not possible, disable the extension's HTML summary-email notification feature (or deactivate/remove the extension) so visitor-supplied values are no longer composed into HTML email, accepting loss of operator notifications. Alternatively, restrict form pages to trusted users until the fix is applied, which reduces exposure but changes the public form workflow; recipient-side plain-text email rendering can reduce HTML interpretation but is not a substitute for fixing the extension.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is in the TYPO3 extension 'typo3_fluid-form_by_coding.ms' from coding.ms, which handles form submissions and can compose an HTML summary email from submitted field values. Visitor-controlled values are inserted into the email template without context-appropriate HTML encoding, falling into the CWE-79 class of improper neutralization of user-controllable input in generated HTML. The supplied CPE identifies the extension as the affected component, while TYPO3 itself is the CMS hosting it; the vulnerable path is the extension's form-to-email notification logic. The assessed vector has PR:N (unauthenticated) and UI:P/UI:R (passive recipient interaction), so an attacker can submit crafted form data remotely, but the payload is interpreted only when the notification recipient opens the summary email. Because email clients commonly neutralize active scripting, practical impact is constrained to HTML content injection with limited integrity impact rather than script execution in a live browser session.
