Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions TYPO3 (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue concerns the handling of online media assets, specifically *.youtube and *.vimeo files, in the TYPO3 backend. It is vulnerable to a denial of service, which occurs when large files with these extensions are uploaded, resulting in high system resource consumption. This can cause the PHP process to exceed its limits, leading to a dysfunctional backend component. Exploitation requires a valid backend user account or write access to the server system, such as SFTP.

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