Summary
The "Mail" extension (mail) for TYPO3 CMS is affected. Backend users who have access to the mail module can save arbitrary page TSconfig through its configuration form, because submitted settings are not restricted to the module's own options, which bypasses intended access controls.
Read the original description
Saving the configuration of the mail backend module writes submitted settings to the page TSconfig without restricting them to the configuration options of the module. Backend users with access to the mail module can write arbitrary page TSconfig.
What to do
Upgrade to a fixed version: 4.2.0, 3.12.5.
