Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Typo3 versions 3.7, 3.8, 4.0.0 through 4.0.3, and 4.1 beta with the rtehtmlarea extension

Recommendations:
For Typo3 versions 3.7, 3.8, 4.0.0 through 4.0.3, and 4.1 beta with the rtehtmlarea extension, avoid using the `userUid` parameter in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved.

At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
