The TYPO3 Association Has Been Authorized by the CVE Program as a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA)

As of 15 July 2025, the TYPO3 Association has received official approval from the CVE Program to operate as a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA). Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Records are part of the global cybersecurity infrastructure. They provide a shared, standardized reference for identifying and addressing vulnerabilities.

Baar ZG, Switzerland – 16 July 2025

As a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA), the TYPO3 Association has assigned the TYPO3 Security Team as the sole authority to assign CVE identifiers for vulnerabilities in TYPO3 CMS and its ecosystem, ensuring verified, coordinated, and consistent publication of security issues. With CNA status, TYPO3 can prevent uncoordinated third-party disclosures and avoid inaccurate or duplicate entries in public vulnerability databases.

This step places TYPO3 within a global network of trusted organizations and open source CMSs — including fellow members of the Open Website Alliance — responsible for CVE publication in their domains. It streamlines TYPO3’s vulnerability announcement and disclosure process, aligning it with international standards, benefiting users, integrators, and the broader security community.

TYPO3 Voices on CNA Authorization

“By becoming a CNA, TYPO3 gains full control over the disclosure of its vulnerabilities — ensuring accurate, coordinated communication and protecting the integrity of our ecosystem from unverified third-party reports.”

— Torben Hansen, TYPO3 Security Team Co-Lead

About the CVE Program

The mission of the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE®) Program is to identify, define, and catalog publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities. There is one CVE Record for each vulnerability in the catalog. The vulnerabilities are discovered then assigned and published by organizations from around the world that have partnered with the CVE Program. Partners publish CVE Records to communicate consistent descriptions of vulnerabilities. Information technology and cybersecurity professionals use CVE Records to ensure they are discussing the same issue, and to coordinate their efforts to prioritize and address the vulnerabilities.
