2. attention: symfony/dependency-injection 7.4 can break TYPO3 systems
Since 27.11.2025, version 7.4 of the symfony/dependency-injection package has been causing problems in TYPO3 installations. Extensions that were written to be compatible across versions are particularly affected. The new version forces Composer to load all PHP files. This can lead to errors. A temporary fix is to explicitly request version 7.3.x in composer.json.

3. composer 2.9 brings automatic security check for TYPO3
Composer 2.9 is here and brings three practical new features. The automatic blocking of insecure packages is particularly relevant. By default, Composer prevents updates to packages with known security vulnerabilities. This reduces the risk of rolling out vulnerable versions in production environments. There are also new CLI commands for repository management and automatic resolution of lockfile conflicts.

Compression is handled more efficiently by modern web servers. And with HTTP/2, asset concentration is often no longer necessary. This article shows you how to check whether you are affected and which steps make sense.

Who writes here?
Hi, I'm Wolfgang.
Since 2006, I've been diving deep into the fascinating world of TYPO3 - it's not only my profession, but also my passion. My path has taken me through countless projects, and I have created hundreds of professional video tutorials focusing on TYPO3 and its extensions. I love unraveling complex topics and turning them into easy-to-understand concepts, which is also reflected in my trainings and seminars.
As an active member of the TYPO3 Education Committee, I am committed to keeping the TYPO3 CMS Certified Integrator exam questions up to date and challenging.
But my passion doesn't end at the screen. When I'm not diving into the depths of TYPO3, you'll often find me on my bike, exploring the scenic trails around Lake Constance. These outdoor excursions are my perfect balance - they keep my mind fresh and always provide me with new ideas.
