CVE-2026-8727
CWE-502Published: May 19, 2026· Updated: May 19, 2026
Official Description
The Crawler extension passes the X-T3Crawler-Meta response header from crawled URLs directly to PHP's unserialize(). An attacker controlling a crawled endpoint can inject arbitrary serialized PHP objects, leading to Remote Code Execution on the TYPO3 server. Exploitation requires administrative privileges to configure a crawler-enabled page and trigger the crawl via a Scheduler task.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-8727 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires high privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-502): Insecure deserialization vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious objects during deserialization, potentially enabling remote code execution.
