CVE-2026-46725 is a critical-severity flaw (CVSS 9.2) affecting affected software. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
The extension passes an attacker-controlled cookie directly to PHP's unserialize() without safely processing the input. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can supply a crafted serialized payload to trigger PHP Object Injection, leading to Remote Code Execution on the TYPO3 server. Exploitation requires the content element to be configured with "Persistent Mode: Static" in the plugin settings.
